CayCay Godwin Poet Rhyme

Mile After Mile Emotion

We tried no sad good-bye ...

                Despite crowds
                in all the aisles,
                all I can see
                is the feel in me:

		Mile after mile,
		cloud after cloud,
		my heart smiles
		almost out loud.
		Wind slicing air,
		love slicing chest,
		such tender care
		when I love best.

		I should rest
		this feeling quest.
		Leaving them behind
		is something I mind.
		Love of family
		is separate from time,
		what they give me
		no clock can chime.

The plane soaring,
the jet roaring.
Watching a wing play,
I reserve what’s hurting
for some future day.

Robert Lindley September 27, 2015 at 10:36 PM Great poem. Reminded me of 1977 , when my girlfriend flew to Cali to live. I was teary eyed as I left the airport.. Bitter sweet memories of that sad day. She had begged me to move with her but my heart stays in the South. You painted it so well. A7 CayCay Godwin September 28, 2015 at 6:01 PM Robert - I am delighted you shared your memory / response with me. For me, it was leaving my parents and sister in Germany to return to the US. Military Father, you see. Thank you so much for reading and, again, sharing ... CayCay (seems you ended up with the perfect partner after all is said)

Neva Romaine September 12, 2015 at 11:01 AM Hey CayCay, still visiting with your lovely poems. This is filled with the sadness of goodbye. I can personally relate to it - I felt the same way when I wrote "How Do You Say Goodbye". It can be heartbreaking. Wonderfully expressive and well written. Be Blessed, Neva CayCay Godwin September 12, 2015 at 12:21 PM See your page for my reaction to "How Do You Say Goodbye." I guess what we both tried to express IS felt by most. Must be a lot of good bye poems that AREN'T romantic in nature ... CayCay

Andrea Dietrich September 11, 2015 at 11:56 PM wow, quite a moving poem, and not just because you are on a plane! I sure enjoyed seeing two of your poems tonight thanks for reading mine. I'd see even more if I were not in a rush. Oh and I wanted to tell you, I hope you one day get to try a Maid Rite. I sure do miss them! CayCay Godwin September 12, 2015 at 12:18 PM Witty, clever girl. If ever I do see a Maid Rite, I know who I will think of. Thank you for commenting ... CayCay

Njeri Hunjeri September 10, 2015 at 10:05 AM Touching. Leaving loved ones behind and hurting from loved is not an easy space to fill. CayCay Godwin September 10, 2015 at 10:16 AM Ah, that is why it concludes with me waiting until another day to deal with it. I cannot remember what I commented on, but I enjoyed your September poems this morning. You are very creative and your writing does touch others ... CayCay
