When I think of you, I can’t recall your face
but there are times when I walk outside – 
like this evening – the sky a deeper shade
of missing you blue...
 
the smoky breath of a jet – crimson tinged
the speck of a bird gets more distinct,  the more
I look...I see your eyes and in the blackness 
of their core, your image
 
at the top of the hill arms outstretched, just as if, 
any minute I might take one deep breath
and you’d take me to wherever it was 
you went and went...

This is so beautiful, from a place felt, breaks the lines which separate what we perceive as our reality from the rest.

How eloquently you sum up the ethos of this poem, Nathan.  More than indebted to yousmiley

Speaking of eloquence, am looking forward to reading more of your inspiring work in the not too distant future.

This missing of a loved one gives this poem a haunting and meditative sense of longing. I liked the idea of standing on the hill and reaching out to a spiritual soul, that even though can't be seen with the eyes, exists because we believe.

Beautifully mastered Tina.

Jenny.
