She Just Left...But Not Gone Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

She Just Left...But Not Gone

Rating: 5.0


You were the first on the scene of Knights
third of the whole to melt into the night


Remembeing you like autumn scene, spilling colors down hills
and riverbanks; and the golden leaves lay still about trees,
tossing and turning and waking green in spring.

Oh this deciduous life!

rosebuds fall off
after blooms

delightful song
is not sung

morning bird's
voice mum

children chatter
has been hushed…

seeing grief rise; attach it to a thread then let go
to God's wind. Then watch it float like a kite…
higher, higher, higher, then fades out of sight.

Remembering her is our desire…
and her boundless caring, we highlight

In our darkest hour your spirit will be an eternal light
-proof that you left home and not gone. For your
loving spirit will forever remain aglow in our hearts.

Then watch it float like a kite… higher, higher, higher, then fades out of sight. In height poet has also put the readers mind to fly in an endless ocean of eternity. Brain takes rest from where no hurry to come back....higher.....higher.....higher... echoes the whole universe. Well painted spring is also on the canvass. We feel she just left but not gone. Actually no pain of parting infects from the whole. A pleasant wideness with a sweet fragrance blowing through the poem. Unique experience of reading to feel indeed. More you write and write you more..... Regards, 10++ pranab
