I have no sage advice; no words can bring solace to such losses. Knowing the darkness that can surround someone, instead of wise words, I offer to you this poem, because it says I share your sadness, and I wrap my arms around you with hugs.

Water Drops

Waterdrops
Falling from the sky
Waterdrops falling from my eyes
Tumbling down, in sorrow’s depth I drown

If only my waterdrops
Could water your heart
I would drown you with happiness
Giving life a new start

Are waterdrops not the seeds of hope?
In the darkness for years I too did grope
If only my waterdrops
Could whisper the right words

Waterdrops
Washing over the worlds woes
Rainbows hidden in depressions throes
I fall to my knees, in a terrible fright

Waterdrops have conquered
This shining black knight
For how can I save the damsel in distress?
The fiercest of demons, has put me to the test

Waterdrops on roses
Whispering flowers
Winds caressing the darkest of rains
I am left to pray

Longing to see her smile and poetry again

Good Morning Arthur. It was an honor turning to your page this morning. Your words truly exceed the emotive factor. This is wonderful and it appears you have a cherished friendship with Eileen. Your words are poetry in every way. Well done in its entirety. Enjoy the morning and day.

Thank you, I do not know Eileen well, I only know she is a kind soul whose poetry is honest, romantic, raw and it speaks to me! :)

This is beautiful, and so very relatable. I only wish if we could share that pain, that we could somehow diminish it. I like the wish that tears would fall on fertile soil, and grow happiness there. And Eileen, if it is in any way possible, I would do as Art does, and cry my tears as seeds of hope into your heart. And create the most beautiful rainbow, together with him.

Arthur, you have reached out to me and have brought solace. Bless you, my dear friend...You have been a knight, indeed. :) I have my good days and my bad days....knowing I have friends like you here....that helps me cope. I have no words of thanks because it wouldn't be enough to express my depth of gratitude. I'll just send a heartfelt hug. God bless you, dear one.

You have no idea the smiles and joy you bring others, not my words the words of many others, I am happy I could make you smile! Hugs
