I Miss You All Poem by Herbert Nehrlich
I Miss You All
I came to sort a couple things
expecting comfort as of right.
There's family, my sacred blood
surely they'll stand alongside me,
together we shall fight this foe
and victory will call for all
to celebrate the fall of travesty.
It puzzles me, it surely does
that I can sit in Grandpa's rocking chair,
with tired eyes half closed,
and reminisce to distant shores,
where smiling faces, full of love
wait at the pier, all pupils wide.
I travelled, yes to foreign lands
my home, that always longs for me.
Yet ruby lips and silk-soft cheeks
poetic voices, so formidable,
like sirens never met, identity unknown
magnetic forces pull, relentlessly,
they are my kindred spirits,
and they always wait for me.
'All pupils wide', 'ruby lips', 'silk-soft', 'sirens': beautiful word-decorations. Another gentle, touching piece of writing. And Herbs, we miss you too. I certainly do. Love, Gina.
This really touches my heart, Herbert. It is beautifully rendered without being maudlin. It is a universally felt emotion as one returns home and finds the empty chair, remembeering voices of grandparents (or parents) long gone. Raynette
Beautifully reflective! Personal and heartfelt! 'I Miss You All' identifies one who has found the journey long. Now longs for the warmth of familiarity only 'kindred spirits' offer. I really enjoy this poem you have written, Herbert. Very insightful. AND humanizing!

Identity-less friendship can be a stronger emotional pulls than blood ties, indeed. Yes... I miss you too, indeed, but relieved the pieces can keep on coming... a gentle, flowing, kindly piece again, H. t x
