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.
