Ghostly Love

As summer fields grow plump yet mild, I dimly lay with swags of blooms Outlined by duskfall I can feel ; The heavens flaming realms beyond Just when his ghostly light appears, While all the flowers scent the wind New moon bequeaths this precious hour-- For death and life to meet again That without words, our hearts entwine; And rose of morning floats to trail Within his shadow, bright as love Until I weep for time gone by: Across the sky, he climbs afar To leave a vow of dream’s return. …………………..

This makes me relive the time my father visited me as a shapeless shadow on his 3rd death anniversary. The cosmic connection gives much soul to this glorious poem!

Your work is always so beautiful and inspiring. So much wonder flows from your poems Nette. You are an amazing poetess my friend. I am never disappointed when I stop by your page. "For death and life to meet again That without words, our hearts entwine;" Love these two lines especially.
