~Silvery Lines~

A poem for my brother Harry who died 6 years ago and who was an amazing poet :)

SILVERY LINES

 

Cresting waves crash

Crescent moon stands

Half way here mid way

there

 

In those fine silvery lines

is where I see you , you

look back I blink your

gone

 

Blue moon, Red sun

Gray sky, Purple haze

Save me from my

Thoughts

 

Are you really there?

Stay! GO! Move on

Towards the clouds

Come Back

 

Through the fabric

There is a tear

Just enough to see

You

 

Just a strand of light

In there between night

beyond the matter silver

You Wait

 

Here in the glow

Of the earth until

sun meets moon

is where I am

 

When thread gives

To wind separate

Heart , mind ,soul

Body

 

Hushed Breaths

Eyes Closed

Dark meets light

I will see you

Again

This is a beautiful dedication and reflection on your brother. "Half way here mid way there," are great lines that really put it into perspective for me.

It's hard for those who grieve not to see a lost loved one in their surroundings somehow--"Are you really there?" I believe that thread is never broken. Each stanza here is an embodiment of love and you did such a fine job on this. Nice one Debbie.

[Relic]

Wow, blew me away like the dandilion's soft seed in the wind. You've created a dream laden mood here. One fix line seven you're instead of your. Again great write.

What a sensitive and emotive piece. Your loss is presented in utter beauty here but your deep compassion for what is lost echos beneath the words. Fantastic , your honesty in such poetic language is immense. Thank you so much for writing this.

[Debbie_Philly]

Ama Thank you so much.... wonderful thing to say and it means allot... :)

[Lost, n'MT]

This is beautiful, I am not sure what more can be said. I am sorry for your loss, I am sure that your brother would be proud of this poem. Thank you for sharing this.

[Debbie_Philly]

Thank you so much Broken.... I hope he would be proud... he himself was a wonderful writer.... i just hate that he was taken way to soon >

That poem is fantastic... I love the moon, it is mysterious and even romantic when with the right person, but it can also be spiritual... what I love is in the poem you could be looking for different people.... a lost love, God, or maybe just trying to find yourself in the darkness. Love this poem.

Its little things that haunt the most... you turn a corner, glance and - catch your breath for an instant. You hear - someone, something. You see - anything and a memory you didn't remember as attached pops in.

You speak well Deb...

Take care,
Chris
