loosing you and having
to remember back-then
are unreachable
ghost gums
keep vigil where we
once stood
their white trunks
shimmer in light
you left behind

This one left its mark
Having just seen the light with my own eyes this little work of art was very much enjoyed .. Neville
Thanks Nev, that truly means a lot. And it actually made my day. Much appreciated my friend 🙏🏻🕊️
I know how certain places continue carrying those we have lost, my friend. We return, and somehow their absence is still waiting there for us. This deeply moved me. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
There is that ghostly haunting from those absent that they feel like a part of us forever. Thanks, Tittu🙏🏻🕊️
Well said. Your poem evokes a deep emotional response as the speaker grapples with the remnants of a past love and the memories that linger, symbolized by the natural imagery.
Many thanks dear Friendhsip 🙏🏻🕊️
I like how the Light left behind is a part of the Person that has gone.
