Searching For You

As I made my way through the shadowy forest of doubt,
I had the most unusual dreamlike thoughts.
I stared trancelike when a herd of unicorns approached,
led by a surreal Mad Hatter seeking Alice.
In the hazy early morning light on a trail we’d traveled often,
I paused to blink, knowing the visions were ethereal.
Unicorns?  Please, this herd looked like something from a fairytale,
and I wondered if they could be anything but imaginary.
Then a familiar voice I heard.  It was yours, my love.
You reminded me to enjoy the moment, not to think so hard.
Real or unreal, it was a vision brewed by an active imagination,
one that will not rest until I find my way back to you.

Missing you is like missing a true friend and a great poet, who used to write with boldness and beauty of its own. We had long associations on PS since 2010 perhaps dear Carolyn. We have lost you now forever, but your poetry would for ever and ever with same warmth and love as you wrote them. May your soul dear friend rest in eternal peace for ever...... Ravindra K Kapoor

I still miss what we had here. We were very attached so much so that I still feel the loss of you. We never met here on Earth but I'm sure in heaven You'll come up to me and say your name and I'll go crazy. So I use this moment to tell the soupers that read this. I love you Carolyn.

Carolyn, I was thinking about you today. I miss you very much. I guess God needed another angel, but why did he have to take you? You took a piece of my heart with you when you died and thanks for leaving us your poetry to treasure. I am so happy that your last poem written was for my contest, rest in peace, dear friend, Constance

I was so sad to learn of your demise Carolyn. I write this as if you can read it, your comments on my work over the years were so heartwarming and encouraging. I am saddened by your departure but also gladdened to have been privileged to have known and interacted with you. You made this world a more wonderful place to be while you were here in it. RIP dear Carolyn :)

Good night, Caro Go forth to the Sea, Sis In fulfillment of thy request To flow with divers, seagulls, your Sea dreams Envy shall sailors see, Sis, You and this dancing sea, Sis, Your poems, now in war of man and flowing Sea In joy of your arrival with its waves Secrets of the past now shared with mermaids But this Soup now sour, your absence In envy of Sea that took your last essence When fiends you have none to share our Soup This PoetrySoup, poets in pains Of your melody, the missing lines O, Carolyn, why hath thou chose new friends of the water world?! Go forth to the Sea, Sis Good night, Caro, dive safely, your water world
