Here in the soft leafy quiet
Of a rainy dawning
I will lie
As memories rise
Like vapours
Bringing realisations
Sometimes tears
There were times
You drew close to me
But the pain of the past
Of your faltering misunderstanding
Burned my heart
Like a lance
But how helpful was that?
The anger could never draw
Us closer
Sadly
And so we often missed
Precious moments to connect
You are gone now
Even as the memories live on
I cannot change a thing
Please forgive me
I forgive you too
No one was wrong
Only misattuned
Often confused
Making all of these painful mistakes
Humans
So often do
Emerging From The Dark Night 
Oh Deb …The sort of poem I have on my mind most mornings … but then I open my eyes and begin another day of wandering .. and wondering “what if” these lines resonated strongly for me … ((hugs)) 🌝😍🐶
“You are gone now
