I open the ornate gate that takes me to you as I follow the tree lined path that twists and turns the sounds of life hush and only bird songs can be heard I pass headstones old with fading inscriptions some falling over but the one I seek is newer with a name fresh engraved in cold stone and then, there it is waiting for me beneath a weeping willow tree suddenly, I am standing in front of the headstone weeping for my true love taken from me one snowy cold night oh my darling, I have been deprived of your love we had so many plans and dreams that died At first I was left empty and cried each day my tears could have filled all the oceans there are but each time I visited you whispered to me to be strong and so I reached into my soul and found the courage to go on alone I found my strength one step at a time and had move on but, my darling there is not a day you are not with me not a day ever I will forget my one true love

A sadly sweet story, told in your usual poetic way. I can always feel your poetry, which, to me, is the greatest compliment I can give. I was in this story with you, watching you weep Beneath the weeping willow. <3 xo

I've read most of the entries for this contest, and once again AI looms too large in contention. Your lines are filled to overflowing with heart wrenching emotions, Constance. Your entry deserved a much higher placement... surely above the AI.

Hello constance, I walked with you on your journey through those gates and it's never easy, to loose someone who filled your life with unconditional love and joy is such a difficult hurdle to overcome but there love never leaves it will always be with you. Danny
