Filling Gaps
Isn’t it amazing just
how little space
we each take up here ..
Yet when gone,
the whole which is
always left behind ..
Feels impossible to
swiftly or adequately fill
except with sorrow and tears ..

So true Nšš»šļø
Cheers a .. N
A beautiful play on words and concepts. The hole left is in some ways like removing a chest buried in dry sand it leaves a hole or impression that extends outward beyond the original boundaries of the box. Although not in the same form or as deep it leaves an impression far wider. Loved this one Neville
Thank you so much sorenbarrett .. Neville
You are most welcome my friend
Good write, Neville. The hole is always larger than the shovel.
How very true .. Cheers Jez
It appears so simple that it is brilliant, I had never thought off it like that until now, so true, lovely write
Many thanks indeed my friend .. Neville
You are very welcome
I like to know where all the holes go.
Dunno, maybe the Holy Land ..
Your poem 'Filling Gaps' beautifully captures the fleeting nature of human existence, illuminating the profound emotional resonance that lingers long after someone's departure, and poignantly reflects on the humble physical space individuals occupy in life, juxtaposed with the transformative emotional impact of their absence.
Thank you so much my friend .. words to treasure & for always .. Neville
This poem dear friend, tugs at the heart strings and brings a lump to the throat, it is so true. For it is the very feeling, when you live through it. Beautifully said!
Thank you so much for reaching out Bella .. Hope you & yours are all well my friend .. Neville
Good on this end, hope all is well with you!
