Was It You?

Lorna



Fingers curled around my hand last night

No one was there of course

But it was real and felt just right

I wonder if my visitor will come again

To let me know

Exactly who it was that offered comfort so

    You know who that was and he is still with you as my wife is still with me Lorna.

      Sigh......

    • Doggerel Dave

      I'll try as often as I can, Lorna - but, you know, it's a fair old journey.....

      • Lorna

        Down under what I wonder??? So far......

        • Doggerel Dave

          Yes - but if the will is there....I'll concentrate tonight..

          Problem - I may have to put aside some time during my day..............

          mmmm Lorna... this brought something to me for I have known who reached out into my dreams and held my hand one more time.....
          ......the letting go was just as painful as the parting of reality.

        • Nicholas Browning

          This is kinda freaky in a good way.

          • Lorna

              (a great shorty!
              thanks for sharing and inspiring
              my little scribbled reply)
              'I too, smile
              on the rare - occasions
              that I wake up, with hiccups
              in the middle of the night
              deluding myself
              into musing, who could be
              thinking of me
              while I'm busy, missing them
              so desperately...'

              • Lorna

                I wonder why missing people keeps us so busy..... I think secretly it keeps them from not being there.

                • L. B. Mek

                  there's a lot to that;
                  by our side, deemed a nuisance
                  a little distance
                  and they're all that we need,
                  hmmm?
                  we, most beloved
                  of nature's, fickle creatures

                • James Alexander

                  What a wonderful emotional poem.

                  • Lorna

                    There's always a comforting hand from the other side for us to hold.
