Peace

Today, I feel peace in my heart

Twilight and hushed whispering of breeze
Trees moving their heads
And I
Sitting under a huge mango tree
Thinking about you.....

How long
Since you left?
I count on my fingers
Then toes
Finished...
Not days, but fingers and toes

I do not remember living through this time
It just dragged on
You were absent
So was I

Today
I felt myself
I read myself
In a poem
Longing
Yet not sad....
Giving
But not demanding

Today
I felt scared of loss again
And I used to think
Now I have nothing more to lose...

Closing my eyes
I sigh
And for the first time in years
No tear fell with it.

No, I have not forgotten you
I never can, never will
But today, you are here
Around me, in peace
Gently kissing me in soft breeze and random drizzle

I am finding the way
Back to me

"Longing/Yet not sad..."

I feel like those lines describe this poem. It is clear you love the person and still care but there is an air of peace in your words as your title suggests. Beautiful.

It was a poem that a friend shared with me that made me feel so peaceful. Mostly, love demands presence of beloved. But that poem so beautifully described how love can grow in absence too.
I am glad you liked the poem. Thank you for kind review.

I am glad that you are able to find your peace in someone's remembrance and absence.
Remember him without regrets. Life has to go on
