Much as I try to hide from it
The grief over your absence
Never really goes away
It drops its silent rain upon my heart
In the quietest moments
When other longings smart
And I think of how impossible it is
To make you see
And feel what I most long for
There is a foreign shore
Its where I travel when the winds all squall
Around the perimeters of my soul
Haunted by those empty spaces
Of long ago
Here I sail all alone
Out past the breakers
Hoping for a glimpse of moonlight
Often losing my moorings entirely
Upon the dark ocean tides
That crash within my heart
Unable to speak of the pain
As my wild storms rage
Losing sight of the truths
That lie buried
So very far
Beneath
The waves
Stunning. This sums up perfectly my feelings as well. It took ages for me to start to edge out of this but don’t seem to have got that far away

Oh Deb, I’ve written a poem, of thank you, to all my readers, this afternoon, and I hope I got It right…. I don’t know how to explain my life, but I am truly blessed to be where I’m now…. My main attribute is that I try to stay positive, and of course, I thank Carole for imparting those wonderful courageous qualities hers, onto me xxx
