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.

Beatifully captured Sir. Too often, those goneleft behind feel guilt at any joy they find, even in knowing thats what those gone would have wanted.

I must admit, your title was the only invitation I needed to read this. I was deeply touched by the eloquence of each verse, then sadly reminisced, as I found certain lines applying themselves to my own life...and loss.

[Gee]

Thank you for your kind words Kelly

A beautifully sad-happy conflict that is almost always present with true, heartfelt loss. This type of write can be quite cathartic for the author and certainly does no harm to the reader. Gently written too... I like that.
