Lasting

Cassie58

for friendship is a cherished gift 

it lifts, enriches, outlives time 

 

when death destroyed your beating heart 

it cast a shadow over mine 

 

this morning as i sipped on tea 

i swear i saw you wave to me

                A sad poem that has that haunting feeling. Very nicely written in very few words

                  Jen was a long time friend from when I was 16. She is very much missed. Thank you so much for your response. Always appreciated.

                              The very curious thing about this piece is its timing. Nine years ago now I could not bear to think, only force myself and the rest of my family to move forward when we all felt the same, like joining Mum, who'd died suddenly the day before. Very aptly poignant with excellent imagery, and rendered tastefully in hard-hitting brevity. Thank you for sharing. [My mother was my best friend.]

                              • Cassie58

                                Missy, I am very touched by your response. Thank you so much for your share about your lovely Mum. So sorry for your loss. I hope your grief is softening with time. ๐ŸŒน
