Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Illusive You

you fade into
the distance
out of reach
an illusion
dissipating
with the breeze
into the night
a specter
an hallucination
vanishing
leaving me forever

Caren Krutsinger October 19, 2018 at 3:00 AM This is why I am so grateful for photographs, and videotapes, and home movies, and an I-phone that takes beautiful pictures. I also have my dad's flannel coat, which I take a whiff of every once in a while, bringing him instantly back.

Timothy Mcguire October 19, 2018 at 12:30 AM This poem touches me. One of my greatest fears in life is losing the memories of passed loved ones. It seems every year their faces are fading as you poem says. I love this poem. What you are saying is a good thing because it reminds me to take time to remember those loves. Thank you for writing it. Line Gauthier October 19, 2018 at 9:40 AM Thank you so much for your lovely visit and message, Timothy.
