Leaves in the wind, people I'll never see again
In the rain fallen I can hear their voice callen
Once here, now only shadows that disappear
An echo falls, memory's dust piles cover my ear
Lost in fading twilight of oncoming night
Aftertastes of old friends out of sight

A super yet so very sad write - superbly drafted.
Thank you Michael for the read and most kind words of comment. Age takes its toll.
Withered away with time, ah my dear sorrenbarret this one hits hard, you have overseas friends, not quite the same I know. I guess the older we get the more we see in loss and all. 💜
Thank you my friend for the read and kind words of support they are deeply valued
Brilliant and sad.
Thank you so much Thomas I deeply appreciate your read and comment. It means a lot
When you count your friends on one hand, you know the day is dawning.
Check your time clock, the conductor shouted, time is moving on.
Where did the years go.
Thank you so much Paul for the read and kind words. Yes you are so right. My grandfather used to read the obituaries and I asked him why, he said to see who he still knew. One day I noticed he wasn't reading them anymore and I asked why. He aid I don't know anybody anymore.
Since im in a really emotional state right now you poem made me cry.But that just shows the talent it takes to make somebody cry with your words.Amazing poem.

Good write SB. I wish KP would disappear, but she never does. Well, only to go to the botox clinic. heehee.
Thank you so much Orchi for the read and comment. I heard that Botox turns to dust after a while.
Soren, this reads like memory weather…leaves scattering, voices thinning, old companions dissolving into dusk. Beautiful and heavy, my friend. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you so much my friend your words of support are most appreciated and valued
You are most welcome, Soren!
Yes a fine Poem. Sometimes the People who have gone still Pop Up in dreams now and then.
And then the Realisation of the truth when you wake is Heartbreaking.
Thank you so much for the read and understanding words of support. It is most appreciated
This leaves a gentle ache where echoed voices filter like fading leaves. Very tender and altogether human. And like rain can be simultaneously heavy and luminous, both happy and sad, washing us and resonating with our soul. 🕊️🙏
Thank you my friend for your review and most understanding words of support and encouragement they are as always most appreciated
Always welcome, dear friend 🙏🏻🕊️
Physically gone but the memories left
Not easy anymore to find nor chances of getting theft
Thank you so much for the read and kind words they are most appreciated
Very fine emotional words soren.
Andy
Thank you so much Andy. I as always appreciate your read and kind comment
Being a veteran I have lost a lot of friends!
I'm sure that is difficult. Being old I have lost all of mine
Yes, that too
