Give me to the summer breeze

One final walk together An oldie updated 28/02/20

It's time my love you lived again
removed the widow's black,
leave sorrow for all yesterday's
invite happiness "come back"

So don a dress of pastel hues
paint a smile upon your face,
walk me for a last time dear
to my final resting place.

Take me to the highest hill
give me to the summer breeze,
to gently fall on lush green grass
'neath the shade of aged trees.

Then take your leave, live again
let another share your heart,
as I will love for eternity,
we will never truly part.

sorrow for lost love, and beautifully written... the dream of having yours live again... "come back as..."
vivid imagery in colors and good choice of words... sad but dreamy....
Best, B

A soft blown kiss each Autumn by the garden wall or high up on a hill where we feel an autumn 🍂 chill. Beautiful poem. truly, Pat

Very nice. You have redeemed yourself in my critical, exacting eyes;the eyes of--(DUN DUN DUN)...an English Major...

Hey, man! I say again, nice job! A little lower now...

[Onlyme]

That is truly beautiful. That is exactly how I would love it. Back to nature. And them not mourning me. But walking away with a smile.

[Gee]

Thanks Dee, glad you enjoyed

[Onlyme]

So Gee, I did not think it was shite! The total opposite in fact. :)

[Gee]

Thank you..

[Onlyme]

Your very welcome. I really was lovely. :)

This is how intimate loss should be written about.

It's quite touching in a universally familiar way. This poem works in a fundamental way... and that my friend is no small feat.

[Gee]

Thanks David. I think the world would be a far better place if we all would express our love for family and friends instead of telling the deceased widow or widower.
Again chuffed you don't disapprove, cheers.
