Beyond My Reach

You were taken away long ago, beyond the reach of my arms but within my dreams you remain, where we linger in a candle's glow. You will always be in my heart, for I pen you in poetic refrain. June 10, 2022 Bite Size Poem No.46 Contest Sponsor: Line Gauthier

Imagination can take you there. I have a hard time because I loved my mom so. When I start to really picture her, I can fall apart. Congratulations on your bittersweet poem win!

Just out of reach, where would poetry be without those words, your candle’s glow line, brings superb ethereal imagery to such a sad tangible poem, cheers David
