One Minute Here

Where has the time gone ~ I do not know Now in October What next ~ winter snow Where has the year gone ~ I do not know A beautiful spring filled me with joy All shiny and new and covered in dew Summer was gorgeous so sunny and hot Day after day though rain it did not Autumn’s vibrant colours and leaves that are crisp If only the weather would stay like this But winter draws near Such dark nights I fear They make me feel down I don’t want to be here Winter’s the time my love went away Time doth heal Or so they say Where did my love go ~ I do not know One minute here ~ the next he was gone Written 6th October 2019 Contest Name: HERE ONE MINUTE, GONE THE NEXT Sponsor: Line Gauthier Contest Strand Poetry Pick 1 Sponsor Brian Strand 2nd Place

This is so well expressed Ann. I completely understand. I lost a loved one in December and it is always re-lived. Beautiful poem :)
