Filling Gaps

Neville

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 ..

      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

          Good write, Neville. The hole is always larger than the shovel.

                  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.

                    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!
