A thought provoking write, serious sentiments that perplex you, a time to reflect and perhaps a time to understand a heartfelt loss, sad but cleverly depicted David my friend, a deep penetrating sense of loss.. HUGS AND BLESSINGS, Jennifer

Thank you Jennifer, The empty space left by a loved one is impossible to fill, their shadow is always inside of us, even when the sun shines, but it’s not always apparent to others, cheers David

Thank you Christopher, so many grieving people clasp at shadows or indeed anything that might reflect a loved one, life indeed can be inexplicable and sad beyond belief, cheers David

Thank’s Terry, I’m in the shade of late with my poems, so trying to refocus myself with monokus, this one is probably a reflection of how I feel, I’m missing my muse, cheers David
