Everywhere

I can't look anywhere and
not find you - not the heavens
where the light of a million stars
converge, after thousands of years
and then slip into tomorrow where
other eyes gaze; nor the sea
you loved so, where waves both
crash and soothe or November morns
when the river fog slips low and
whispers in the valleys.
You are everywhere and swirl
all around pieces of my sanity and
hold them together - hold them
where I need them to be ...

Hiya Sharma Date: 12/21/2023 7:23:00 AM Oh my, this is such a heartfelt and poignant poem which compelled me to dive deep in those emotions of yearning to feel the lost fragments of those who have departed..Our hearts seek to feel their light, once more, as if achingly it surrenders yet asks for a glimpse of the merciful light of our loved ones, as the last wish. Sigh, this made me quite emotional,as I've seen that sense of loss and have been in such a situation."river fog slips low and whispers in the valleys" That's really beautiful Login to Reply

Ink Empress Date: 12/20/2023 9:30:00 AM Dear Craig, this is so evocative and soul stirring really, the way you’ve phrased such deep emotions in such a descriptive and poetic manner truly is impressive. Sometimes we look for those residing highest away, in pieces and parts of nature, some memories shared, some things they loved left in nature, that brings back memories too. I really love the lines “ when the river fog slips low and whispers in the valleys.” Wow! How vivid! And artistic. “ You are everywhere and swirl all” soul touchn.
