Here an image of a love remembered and missed. Whether by death or breakup there is a sadness and nostalgia well written in verse. Nicely done Norman

What a touching poem, my friend. Grief is here, but love has the stronger voice…continuing quietly through memory and the world around us rather than disappearing with death. Really beautiful, Norman. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Beautifully written Norman.
I can detect a little sadness in this but it\'s certainly not bleak. Awesome rhyme as always.

There’s a damn tender farewell here, with the morning birdsong, rain, and waves becoming ways for the departed to remain present without asking the living to stop living. The ending is gentle rather than sentimental—the whisper in the ear feels like love saying, I’m still with you, but don’t be afraid.

I love the sentiment of this one Norman it is romantic in a tragic way with death but not forgetting seen the deceased in nature itself. Quite and melancholic but reassuring. Well composed with good rhyme and flow. A fave my friend

This is the war that we have failed so dramatically to bring to an end. Keep trying, I guess. Well done.

Norman, this is absolutely harrowing. You strip away every illusion of honor and leave us facing the cruelty, degradation, and human cost of war. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The cruelty of war in its slightest vetoes the necessities of warring in the first place. Moving read 🙏🏻🕊️

BUT GENTLY I WAIT TO SAY GOODBYE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
The natural world continuing around this deeply human contemplation gives the piece tremendous peace, Norman. Life and death occupy the same sacred space without struggling against one another. Wonderfully written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There is definitely a feel of departure in this poem a sense of death and moving on. It is melancholic and a bit somber if not sad. Well written my friend

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, what a haunting and atmospheric piece. The old structures remain, but whatever power they once carried is steadily disappearing while the world continues around them. I’ve visited places that hold this same eerie presence...beautifully captured, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
