Contest E-FORMS-Elegy

sponsor Constance La France

There was a time when the world was beautiful and we were destined to be lovers forever nothing brought us sadness we were devoted like sunrise is to morning like sunset is to the night now all I have are memories drifting through my soul I cry for your last whispered breath days mean nothing, tomorrows are gone our lives vanished like a passing wind sweeping away time...sweeping away growing old we meet in my dreams where we still dance and I bring you flowers dreams come and go...pain stays...pain stays so I cry, needing to dream dreams are not what I need, it's you I need to see, to hold, to kiss again I fall to my knees each time I visit your grave and cry until I can't cry anymore Why...were you taken? you were the beauty, the light, the paradise we would have filled our tomorrows with so much love that its glow would have blinded the night What now love, what now? My heart is yours my soul is yours, to be shared when we meet again so we may be lovers in the heavenly stars forever

' we were devoted like sunrise is to morning, like sunset is to the night. ' This thought touches my heart is so many ways. The closeness and connection is evident within. Your thoughts are tender and emotional, all at the same time. Congratulations Frederic, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

So very sad, sincere, sensitive, a tale of loss that stirs the soul and causes those who empathize with you to realize that this expression of your loss is only one trembling breath composed of so much love, so much loss, so much longing... So very emotive, so very powerful, such a wonderful gift to the reader and such a blessed POTD. Congratulations and much love. God bless you, Gina

Hello Frederic, First, congratulations on your POTD. It is a wonderful, heartbreaking, and beautiful love story. I have been married 42 years and I dread the day that we will be separated in death. However, I know that our Dear God will reunite us again in heaven to walk and talk among the gardens. You so deserve this POTD. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Gosh this is such a heart wrenching elegy, it feels so sincere and so soulful, the ending especially made me feel so much dear frederick. I cant even imagine this feeling “ What now love, what now? My heart is yours my soul is yours,” sigh! This is so poignant! And just beautiful! Congratulations on potd and best wishes..
