Ann Gilmour Poet Free verse

Just Us Three

I sit by the sea
Let it wash over me	
Soothing my pain
her ebb and her flow
For I am still here
on this Christmas Day
I did not go away
for I needed to stay
Feeling so weak
Laryngitis ~ can’t speak
So I sit here alone
for the solace I seek
Sweet memories I pray
will begin to appear
My darlings
I’m sensing
your presence is near
My two precious boys
I feel your embrace
See your sweet smiling face
thus a glimmer of hope 
Come sit beside me
Just for a short while
As we sit by the sea
Just us three…

Caren Krutsinger December 27, 2019 at 11:35 PM Writing is therapeutic for me, and possibly for you also, my friend. Anyway, Ann, I certainly hope so. It is nice to sit by the sea, just "you three". I love this! Ann Gilmour December 28, 2019 at 4:18 AM Yes that is so true for me too Caren. Even though some of my poems have been so full of emotion lately, just by penning my emotions I am feeling some relief which is helping the slow healing process after such a trauma. Glad you love this poem. The sea for me is the most cathartic place to be. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
