Heart-breakingly gorgeous homage to your Lani my sweet, brave Ohana. “When you were near”- poignant memories of a love so strong it transcends death. You and he are on either side of a gossamer veil, reaching for each other through your dreams. The beautiful flow, symmetry and imagery of this poem is lovely, organic. “Burnt pancakes”- you honor us by sharing this most precious, personal, loving vignette of Lani and the melia with us. We feel the pristine sweetness, fun, closeness and sensuality of your life together. You, he and your children are blessed. He will always be with you my ohana. xo
This is the ultimate of showing how love goes in dozens of detailed & realistic & unique ways. I don't often love a love poem, but this one I do. I was so taken into the rapturous viewpoint being expressed, I was yearning right along with you. Sorry I've not seen you in my newsfeed & I'm forgetful, so people disappear from my reviewing attention! I'm glad I saw you in my newsfeed again & I was eager to click so I could read you again! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I do understand the poem dear friend.
"what I would give to eat
burnt pancakes with you
just one more time."
The above line. Honest words shared and remembered. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

'.. sometimes I wonder, - can the stars draw - you closer to me - when I dream? - I conjure you - with my hearts memories - with a soulful concentration - but sleep is just sleep .. '
Beautiful sadness, start to finish. Izzy. You've always had both a gentle yet vibrant way of letting your emotions run into each other. The result now is even more intensely passionate; most of all - tis gently phrased call into your arms. Love knows where to find a welcome. .
15 June, HAVE HAD to re,read this beautiful piece of writing. Tis so full of magic memories and emotions. Thank you so much for your message. Bless you, dear Izzy-friend. xx
such loss...what i would give to eat those burnt pancakes...oh the things we wish we had done when we had a chance...and with those people we appreciate even more when they are gone.
i think this person is still very near to the speaker...always just a close thought away.
