- Eternal Breath -

I have been to your grave to lit a candle for you today Can not find peace as long as I have grief and the loss is in my heart Emptiness is so difficult, an empty bed, an empty chair and an empty room You have shown your love touched so many hearts Done more on earth that many of us can only dream of Here at your grave I'm trying to build a bridge that leads me to you My heart cries, tears like blood in my veins There is not a day that goes by without longing for your safe warm arms Walking along on the beach brings comfort to my soul You will find me here in my sad silence Feels as if the waves will devour my thoughts Can I lift myself up from this deepest dark Are our souls bound together forever Illusion, or you can hear my thoughts and screams It feels like I'm dying slowly .... little by little I kneel here at your grave, alone The day has come, my journey without you All words will be poor. . . I do not say goodbye .... until we meet again dear ..... Rest in peace - rest in Heavens Flower Meadow 31.10.2013 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved (1st place in the contest)

Heartfelt. Nice imagery. I guess if we all lose a loved one we can get a first place trophy. Congrats, Anne Lise!

that is all what the poetry is about or meant to fulfill in a burst of human emotions in life in the mist of emptiness in lost dearest one and precious in the soul love In cry tears of heart who only we can say pearls but grief In black like the grief is dark left behind after light and life gone
