And if I do
walk with you
in moonlight
whisperer
from the past,
dearest ghost
can you prevent
my sad intent
to go on
walking the white
path of light
up to heaven
there to remain,
no more alone
but with you?
Perhaps it's best
that for now I rest
here, my dear.
here, my dear.

ReplyDeleteOh, this is so sweet and tender. But yes, rest with us a while, for we need you.
ReplyDeleteIt seems the protagonist has taken on the wraith-like qualities of their beloved, with head in one world and heart in another.
ReplyDeletelove this yearning....
ReplyDeleteI love the short meaningful lines throughout this piece as not a word is wasted to convey the thoughts of a widow talking to her dead lover.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful XXX
ReplyDeleteThere is a gentleness mixed with longing in this piece. The speaker is a sound soul, with a heart that's the size of the moon.
