Carolyn

The sadness I feel is a vacuous thing clouds colored dark form the skies Silence rings loud as the echoes now bring tear drops that fall from the eyes Merely a name and a poetic phrase a photograph placed on a screen I wasn’t prepared for the messaged displays sorrow befell what was seen Though something inside brings such joy to my mind moments I’ll never forget To know someone genuine, caring and kind a treasure this person I met Sorrow and sadness they linger a while missing a wonderful view Yet thinking of her brings an eternal smile as many I know they will do Life is so short even when days are long both though will come to an end Remember the good and you’ll never be wrong dream as the memories send Goodbyes are hard in the shadows of time nothing much more can be true So here is mine in this missing you rhyme I will be thinking of you I knew Carolyn Devonshire only through this site and what I will remember most was how kind she was to me. It is hard to express what I felt when I received the message from Poertysoup the other day, there was an emptiness that hit me quite hard but I forced my mind to think of her only as I knew her, a wonderful poet and a genuine caring person. Rest in Peace Carolyn.
