Written: October 31, 2023 ______________________________________ I walked by fallen limbs and bare trees. Without the birds, without the breeze Summer's final rays of warmth wane. My sadness spreads further away to explain. I trod amid broken limbs and rotten grass. Sapphire skies shone as crystal and glass. How can I remember you without sighing? Whilst others, as October twigs, are lying? What you find, dear, falls and fails to mend. The spirit knows that death is not the end. The wind carries the sound of my voice. I thrill with rhyming clarity and rejoice! Your words enliven a desolate landscape. Just as in paradise, no one wants to escape. They're gorgeously drenched in dew. The natural world is sighing in awe of you! Just akin to a stunning bird in the azure sky. I will never forget your grace and sway. While you peacefully snooze away the time. Your eternal presence whispers in sublime In the forest hush, I trek in time and space. The bare limbs and trees softly saw my face. No birds chirping, no wind, just a fall whisper. The warm heat vanishes, and we feel winter. Amid fading glow, your words shine as night sky. Such insightful lines tell of how life's glories stay. Your prose illustrates that dying won't be final. Your calm lyrics are carried by the wind spiral.

Dear Sotto, you’ve mastered the art of painting imagery so very well! And that is so evident in this poem itself! I am in awe of the way you’ve rhymed and articulated lines in such a celestial manner, truly captivating and soulful with such spiritual and heartfelt depth of emotions flowing seamlessly! So many exquisite lines in this and i love the picture you’ve used too! My fave is the ending there . “Your words shine as night sky” ah “ your calm lyrics carried by wind spiral” unique diction!

dearest Sotto...I enjoy your recording of your poems--adds life to the poem. I listen first and then read your words, devouring them, the sentences rhymes. I felt twinges of sadness in the first two verses. Loved the phrase, 'the spirit knows that death is not the end.' That seemed to be a pivotal point wherein the narrator likens his lost love to a stunning, graceful bird snoozing away the time.' Those words touched my soul as did your entire poem. Well-crafted, beautiful creation. Faving it!
