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

You show the true depth of what beautiful poetry is once again, so beautiful with a touch of sadness in it too. :) Larry

loved it Julie especially the first stanza p s you know s/c is going paid

The idiot that owns SC is dreaming if he thinks any "real" poet in their right mind would pay to have their poetry plagarized by him and his girlfriend. I give him 6 more months and the site will be gone. Hugs, Julie

I agree 100% he is a idiot and I don`t even like it ,I posted a couple last week its been 3 months
since I posted feels like a old timers site and people are so stuck up and for what I don`t know
the only good poetry I see was yours and mine lol

[MsJewel]

All the good poets have left or were driven out when the site was purchased. Now the idiots girlfriend wins all the challenges. We are better off here.... :)

oh yes I haven't made the front page since devin I look over there I see 30 poems 20 has no comments 15 has 1 5 has 2 and you see 3 or 4 or 5 on about 2 poems these are the so called in crowd when I post I get 3 to 6 comments but I know I have enemies there and I haven't seen starlite 1 in a while I guess shes gone too and she is not a good poet nor is he

[MsJewel]

Hi to you both but had to say I am also glad you found your way here... so SC has finally gone paid sad state even if it couldn't happen to a better bunch of creeps, plagerizers and.. er.. ok I'll behave... we all came here because of Lydi I think..

Some loves linger in our hearts forever..even once that person is gone we can find the quiet warmth of it inside us. Lovely....;-)

True love never dies and it's a true statement. I love the subtle way you write. It's like a goose feather being run along my skin. You say SO much in limited verse and that says a lot about a writer. If the way you love is anything like you write; then whoever is on the receiving end of it, is lucky. Beautiful work ma'am!

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your lovely comment and compliment. Have a beautiful day :) Julie

[Chris Micha]

You're so welcome and you as well :)
