Letting Go
A repost —
It’s okay love, you can go now,
but set the door ajar as you leave –
just enough for the light of your memory
to shine through.
We’ve gone a long way, you and I, on this journey,
but I am tired now, in need of rest –
so I will stay here and say goodbye.
Yes, it’s okay love, you can go now,
be where you ought to be –
I’ll still think of you …

I see we have nibs back – thank you to whoever gave it to me, delighted.

Well deserved too Val. Much of your poem – all of it in fact – struck home for life whether it be good or bad is not eternal. It is therefore an irony that the pain following a good life is the greater..
I guess the Pick has replaced the Pen but in any event yours is well deserved. (Sorry to say it was not me);

HI Michael, sorry for such a late reply. Hardly ever visit the site these days, always changing ! But thanks for your lovely comments, so much appreciated. Hope you are well.

A simple and beautiful poem, Val.
The site has missed you. I hope you will come back. We’re doing some nice revamping at the moment.
Hi Alfie – great to hear from you. Goodness, I thought I was long since forgotten ! I would love to return, but my heart simply isn’t in writing any more. I do look at the site most days, it looks really good now and is obviously working better. I do hope to write again some day, and will post here of course. In the meantime, all the best to you and everyone here.
