-Is It You

Is it you whispering through the rustling of the leaves
Or are you the soft warm evening breeze

Are you the quiet lapping of the oceans waves
Is that you talking to me from the grave

Is it you chirping in the early morning light
Telling me all your news, is it you…..am I right?

Or are you the pitter patter of the mild autumn rain
Is that you talking to me once again

Are you the peaceful sound of the trickling creek
Is that you sharing the news of your week

It has to be you when I hear a sweet melody 
You telling me your here right next to me

Or is it just me wanting it to so desperately to be you
Are you still here with me on earth….is it true?

Very moving poem, some gorgeous imagery packed with emotion....the inferred silence at the end deepens the impact...the wait extending beyond the poem. Good one my friend.

I enjoyed reading your lovely yet sad  "Is It You" write. I just wrote one about my dad. He has been gone for many years. The years may pass but the love/memories will not. So Sorry... Have a blessed day.............

Very endearing write. I can relate, spiritually and physically. I don't think loved ones ever entirely leave us...in fact, remind us, in many mysterious ways, how all is connected. Love the ending: Heaven and earth may not be so far far apart -- distance shortened by fond memory in loving heart. Blessings. Oh, if you have time, please read my short story, though a bit spooky, "Death By Proxy".

Deb, these emotional lines are some of the best I've ever read from you. You really tuned in to your heart wanting to hear from lost loved ones that you miss. Every rhyming couplet is written with tenderness and longing. Loved and faved it.
