All That's Left

=========================

An image in a locket

Thy face encased in gold 
placed at my breast,
all I have left

Pray, how am I to hold 
an image in a locket?

Sometimes all that is needed is a few words, yet in those few words so much emotion is felt. Your poem touched me. I lost my best friend last December 2022 and all I have is our picture in a locket.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Joanna. I hope the emotion you processed at your reading of this poem helped to relieve some of the sorrow you've felt. Thank you for your comment. LyLy

Hi, Lycia! Love the imagery this emits. "His face encased, " as if I were standing right there in front of you. Well done indeed, because that was surreal to me, the first time I've experienced something like that, omg. "You're Good," very well penned! Congratulations on the win, by the way. Best of Wishes, William
