Why Do I miss You?

 

Why do I miss you when I hear a pin drop?

When deafening silence screams your name

Images, whispered words that will not stop.

We fought and sniped through hurried days

The quickening Reaper swishes his scythe.

Suddenly life has slowed right down to a crawl.

 

We fought for and against love such as it was

Either day or night, always eager to fight

Leaping from log to log on the river of life

Fearing the water that carried us toward an edge

Before we reach the end of our time

Let me say despite our turbulent past

The bad things were small, your love so vast.

 

 

I know why I hear you when I hear a pin drop

You filled my moments with unanswered love

Blind to your light I moaned at the dark

Love unconditional came and it went

I surged on till passions were spent

Now as the ink dries on the quill

I lay down and pray for the silence to stop

I wonder who you are speaking of. Regrets can be big or small. Comes the time we have to move on, and if unable to do more for someone, or make up for past lack, there will be someone else we can seek to help or pray for. Rhiannon

I was thinking about myself and imagining.  Thankfully I am never alone with my faith.  I suppose it was written with a tinge of empathy.

Leaping from log to log on the river of life

This is how I've often looked at the way life takes us. Never quite going in a straight line but leaping this way and that to try to stay in the middle for a smoother ride.

I really enjoyed your poem.

Thank you.

Some beautiful imagery and a very thoughtful take on this week's IP - this is our Facebook and Twitter Pick of the Day! Please do share/retweet if you enjoy it too.

Good image! I thought it was maybe the Moon, or the planet Mercury! Sounds like a very turbulent love-affair,

All the best! Nolan

A beautiful tribute. "despite our turbulent past / The bad things were small, your love so vast." A lesson often learned too late.
