Letting Go of The Light

Neville

Letting Go of The Light

 

I so needed to fly

tonight ..

I just wanted you

to know

that I finally let go

of the light ..

I so needed to die

before

you do, my love ..

I don’t

think, but I know

and only

too well, I would

not be able,

or want, to go on

for even one

moment without you ..

    But now I'm in the dark - I let go of the light - me lamp, or candle, or torch, or whatever gives light! lol.

        A wonderful tribute to Dylan Thomas here Neville,. Unlike he though this is romantic and most touching. Loved it.

          I've often thought of such loss, and you have put into words the very feeling. This poem runs deep in emotion that touches the soul. Beautiful!

            Not a subject we want to dwell on, but one we do think about and talk about on occasions. After 45 years of togetherness, the separation would be excruciating for me, but I know I would cope somehow, because my nans, my mum and my sister all coped. I would be walking in their footsteps. My husband John feels much the same way you do. There is a lot of love and togetherness in your words Neville. A beautiful poem to sum up a long relationship with many memories.
