Nicely penned Lorna, so much said in such a short piece. Nice to let the \'drawbridge down\' and open up in when it feels comfortable

Lorna, this is a great poem. So many people are exactly like that and you expressed it very eloquently. A beautiful poem about the human condition, where each stanza could actually stand on its own, but as Michael said, are much better together.

Then carry us off to a far off land,
To accompanying strains of a ten piece band,
Ask not why we follow you still,
Tis the spirit inside and our steadfast will!

sorry i just had to join in with this jolly jaunt, i enjoyed it so much.

Having To Let You Go
dusk arising said:


Letting go of such small wonders as you list enables us to greet the beauty we encounter as we travel onward to who knows where. Loving the world around us and those here who we love today enrich our lives and build our loving personality. People along the way say goodbye to us too.

Having To Let You Go
FredPeyer said:

Lorna, your poem is a gem. It is filled with gentleness, love, and regret. The emotions come through between the lines. It says, yes, we have to say goodbye, but we have the memories, we have experienced something beautiful, like that flower, that smile, that moon. Even though we will walk alone, the memories will be with us every step. Beautiful poem!

A sad but beautiful write, Lorna!

I am with her every day. I see the clock that tics and tocs. She says she’s ready, but I am not!

Strangely calming, as if it\'s saying that no matter what happens or where you go in life, you must move on.
Nice.
