Ever So Quietly

 

photograph compliments of pinterest

 

 

 

When the day breathes cool and the shadows lengthen

and a quietness left behind

fills my thoughts and dreams

 

I think of you

and remember…

 

There are no farewells

 

Love never leaves

It’s found in a heartbeat

that echoes with the joy of a memory

held within the soul for eternity

 

The light within my heart that’s still burning

 

ever so quietly

I don't have a favorite line cause it's hard to separate out one... they all reflect a truth about love that often eludes people.I think that's due mainly to that most never experience lovelike this Julie. It is very apparent that you have and in the places that matter most (memories)still do. You capture it well Julie. ~~redzone

I can't imagine my life without love..whether it is now or in memories..love is what makes it all worthwhile...don't you think? I adore your comments. Thank you :) Julie

I do Julie, I do .. better real though I think.

dear Julie... ever so quietly reminds me
of Frank Sinatra singing "quietly as I leave
you". Love never leaves... it remains a
golden nugget buried in your heart.
Lovely poetry. truly... Pat x

[MsJewel]

Your poetry is so real and speaks volumes of the love held deep in your heart.
I can see you in that picture as you reminisce of that special love you enjoyed.

This poetry is simple and pure
and so incredibly good..

HUGGS. ...Trace.

this one made me quite emotional...i immediately thought of my best friend Paula, who died back in 1984...and her memory is still burning within my heart...and will for my eternity.

she was such a good soul.

impactful write.

[MsJewel]

I'm so sorry for your loss Jacob. I lost someone very special to me a few years ago - although I miss him terribly still...I find comfort in those memories. I hope you do the same :) Julie

I often remember, people and places, that left (or I left) and know there is always a piece of me left behind. Nicely penned. ~Jim

This is lovely, keeping the "light" with you as you guard its flame. That is true love and you have summed up its feeling with an endless whisper... thank you for sharing.
