"lasting Impressions"

I waited and waited but maybe 
the time has passed...
Just one last time , a look, a
smile, something to grasp...
The birds fly over head so free
and so tranquil...
I watch them all, each flight not
new but never dismal...
Maybe one bird will have a note
that might say a reason why...
Or maybe I shall walk away and
see this was a goodbye...
The place I sit is absorbed in different
stages of memories...
From a start of coffee to long walks
that formed a love story...
As the trees changed and the seasons
have gone...
There is no escape from this distant bond...


a past experience,not forgotten ....

Dear Michael, this is genuinely moving. The snse of loss is conveyd without melodrama,, but in oservations of the surroundings. A great poem for my favorites. Some past experiences stay with us forever. Love, Carolyn
