______________________________________________________________

Tossing on my rocking chair, In pitch sable dark of the night, Where no stars shimmer in the sky, Waiting for the early morning light. The bay window is clean, with a wide scene. Would the day reveal a land with woods so green? Occasionally the moon penetrates The heavy rainy murky clouds, As moonbeams glimmer over oceans. Happy the dead dispersed of crowds, For behind lay a cemetery full of snow, The North wind will never stop its blow. I was left alone in the spectral scene. Alas lonely and abandoned by all; Or do I see a faint silhouette on a moonbeam Gliding onwards toward Autumn and Fall? Ah I cannot see the golden leaves fall gently, Now I’m in winter with nothing to protect me.

I felt the pain from your loss...left alone with the feeling of abandonment...and sometimes thinking we see a person's silhouette...made me a bit teary-eyed. Well penned, Victor.

My good friend, your poetry touches this heart. We that have so lost our great love, went through abject despair and decide to carry on must look for the best in life, in things. This is a very fine and top class creation. A fav.. God bless you..

Better a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace. It is better to conquer 'yourself' then to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, Heaven or hell. Wishing you strength and happiness, thank you for your kind visit and compliment on my page, Victor :) You are a master poet.

Yes, we never forget those we have deeply loved. After their passing, neither them nor us feel ever entirely whole. Sensitively and lovingly expressed. A beautiful, relatable write. Blessings my friend.

The winter can take its toll, but springtime is coming, my friend. Life seems so unfair when we concentrate on the challenges, we're given, sometimes a shot of joy is needed to bring back the balance we need. Focus on the spiritual side of life instead of the physical to find the courage to allow peace back into our lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you, my friend. Hang in there, Bill

You are never alone. You may be in the dead of winter, yet there are so many to cover you with the thick blanket of their concern and love for you. So cheer up 'young man' !

Looking at the list that have commented here Victor you should never feel lonely. Your poetry is lovely. I always find when I am down, I write a "pick me up poem" Something aimed at making others feel good, but after its finished, I feel good too. Might be worth a try?

This made me tear up, im so sorry you feel lonely and abandoned. Its never an easy feeling , and one can never really describe as eloquently as you’ve done here. Winter, there you’ve used in a creative manner to describe fleeting time and age. I really love how you’ve painted imagery, the moonbeams to cemetery etc. so well articulated here. “ i cannot see the golden leaves fall gently “ i love that. And so much more, this poem is so evocative and touching. Very sincerely expressed. Felt so much as i read

Dear Victor, ‘The North wind will never stop its blow’ very true but there’s many weeks to go until we will experience snow, that’s if we do. Rest as much as you can, rocking in your chair, look through your window and enjoy the view, trees will change colour soon and magical that will be for you… Blessings and hugs… Belle

Lovely poem, Victor, hope you recover soon. If it was a collaboration, I’d finish it like this “and yet within our toroidal heart, the breath of God enlivens us ~ oh take us in your arms Holy Spirit, aboard the divine sublime bliss bus”

How depressing. Okay good job using words to create a picture and a vision in my mind but winter is the most depressing season out of the 4 of them.

The beauty of seeing a landscape, so green and serene is pleasing You fall in love. To not no one his sadness but it’s also sadness if you don’t know in your heart, what the universe looks like from out your window at night time. I am lucky I know both and it makes for a peaceful heart. I love your right, so touching.

Excellent write, I always sense you are not here to impress! My hats off to you for that! In so doing, your poetry is mellow and touching. Like you, I live with the loss of a spouse. He died when he was only 40. But we think of them each day,…aFave Panagiota xx
