Notes About The Poem

" A BETTER WORLD " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of rose and nature

You Have Gone

You left us

For 

A better world they told me,

Victims to Covid-19 

And

Since that moment, your absence, 

A howling silence has become

That

With the passing of time,

Amplifies the grief for your loss 

In my bleeding

Heart.*

* The month of March I lost four very close friends and relatives whom I loved dearly. As time passes I miss them more and more. RIP!

You are so compassionate, my dearest friend, Lasaad and I appreciate it. For more than 40 years I console people that have lost their loved ones and death has become so familiar to me that I have written many poems on the subject. You may read my poem: " DEATH MY PALL" if you ever have time, so as to see my conception of death. Thank you caring. Blessings

My friend, Vijay. I welcome your comforting words. It is not so much their departure that causes the pain as the void they left behind! Blessings.

They say time is a great healer Demetrios, but because of the love that you had for your dear friends and relatives that healing will take a lot longer. May they rest in eternal peace. Tom
