Notes About The Poem
Inspiration from the song, ' I'll Be Seeing You' by Frank Sinatra

Radio Plays ' I'll Be Seeing You'

From streak and blur of candle faint 
Her whispered breath gasps through dim hall-- 
That longing haunts without restraint
When a presence twirls come midnight:

Gently, gently she advances
Yet tapered wax fades...bleak the loff
And she aches for snuffled chances; 
To meet him ...in world's afterlife
