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.

Im pretty sure I've reviewed this before but I do love this peace. So beautiful and you painted death as a final date. Gave me chills, loved it!

A sombre piece Gee but also filled with empathy and love for another. Sadly poignant.

This is a very touching poem. Bittersweet as all departures are be it permanent or temporary.

Thank you kindly

There was no mistaking that the one gone is being "scattered" to the summer's breeze. Such a sweet love poem from now absent to the one left behind.

[Gee]

Thanks Carol

I think much about death and the separation it brings yet I felt comforted by the strong thread of love woven through this poem. Its strength seemed greater than the power of death. Appreciated so much...
