I could be strolling on a river bank, or sitting in a managed park. I could be walking on a saltbush plain, or where soil is parched and stark. I could be climbing Perry sand hills; be shaded by a Wilga tree. I will never be there on my own - we’re still in contact; you and me. I could be gazing at a rainbow arc, or clouds billowing to rain. I could witness lightning and thunder; stroll on a sun drenched plain. I could see a stumpy tail upon the tar; a mob of grazing kangaroo. I will never be there on my own - we’re still in contact; you and me. I will never be there on my own - we’re still in contact; you and me. We talk about adventure that we had - it seems I’m talking to nobody.

Surely, this is a keeper if ever there was one. I love the imagery, rhyme, and flow. But most of all, I love the thought. It's priceless. Thank you, Lindsay. Hugs, Paul

I like the way you set the scene of pondering, as I do once in awhile. I always wanted to do things with my husband, but we never did. He had already spent 20 years overseas. But I still share all the wonderful things we did together now, even though he is gone. Hugs Eve

In 2020, contact is via technology. No love lost, but hate seem to blossom everywhere! "Keep smiling; tomorrow is another day!" Aloha! Rico

Lovely write. We carry our loved ones with us wherever we go. That last line was a twist that I didn't see coming. I guess that was the point of it all.
