I see so many things that remind me of you
A mountain worn away by wind
Sunlight breaking through the folds of dying leaves
An autumn rain
A light
Bright and furious
A sparkling sea
Standing at the shores of memory
I remember the tide
The island air
As a child, I could not see the stars
Their light too far for my vision
Yet I would gaze into the sky
Trusting the awe in my father’s eyes
Then I saw the sea
The rocky shore
An empty blue
Shining in the starlight

To an old friend
I see so many things that remind me of you
A mountain worn away by wind
Sunlight breaking through the folds of dying leaves
An autumn rain
A light
Bright and furious
A sparkling sea
Standing at the shores of memory
I remember the tide
The island air
As a child, I could not see the stars
Their light too far for my vision
Yet I would gaze into the sky
Trusting the awe in my father’s eyes
Then I saw the sea
The rocky shore
An empty blue
Shining in the starlight

Loved the imagery and soothing tone of this.
It/'/s dark outside, it is peaceful and now I feel a sense of calm.
Nice work

Lovely, sweet writing. I felt calm, wistful and not sure why but also a little sad while reading it. You created a beautiful imagery, very peaceful. Great poem ! God bless. |
