This was my poem to accompany his photograph….
I am desolate, bereft,
Without you the world is nothing,
There’s just no laughter left.
The trees arch and meet above my head,
With a delicacy and a grace,
Yet my eyes don’t absorb the beauty here,
The splendour of this place.
The road hugs the river that runs below,
It is shiny from the rain,
Whispers of darkness in my soul,
Till I see your face again.

Are you missing someone this Valentine’s Day? And, yes, it really is a beautiful picture.
Yes I am!!
So sad. The picture reminds me of the roads close to where I live on a foggy day in winter. Strange how we associate the loss of leaves with sorrow. I love your poem. My heart goes out to all those who have suffered loss. I’ve lost two adult children, both my parents and my brother-in-law over the years. I let them go tenderly, knowing they had their own purpose.
Yes indeed Francene. ‘M sorry to hear about your losses. It’s tough isn’t it?
I love your poems! You’re do good with words.
Thanks very much!
Thanks very much!
You are very talented. I could feel the picture as I read your poem. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my, as I read your poem, the picture became cold and lonely, Truly you captured the moment with a thought, frozen in time.
Thanks so much William. Beautiful picture but somehow it had a sadness about it….
