Invisible Love

There was a time when love was 
                a bright star in the sky 
         sunshine on a rainy day 
an eagle soaring                           quietly 
towards the edge                                       of day :) 
but now that you are gone 
               life has become a weeping willow 
       thrashing in the rain         seeping gold
                  from limpid broken branches 
There was a time when angels sang 
              lighting our hearts in fire            and burning desire....
Today I sit and wallow in my tears 
               counting on my grieving fingers 
  the sum of all our years. 
There was a time you and I would dance 
                            on the pinnacle of heaven 
now I dance and I dance alone, between heaven and earth 
      and your memory is now,  ...     my thirst !

Susan Ashley October 11, 2025 at 7:05 PM Dear Rose, the longing, the hurt, the heartfelt "thirst" for the "invisible love", a lost love, is palpable. Beautifully sad and vivid imagery brings me to where you "dance alone, between heaven and earth" - oh so poignant... so potent and poignant! Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Susan
