Distant Strands of Rain

There,
In those wisps 'tween
Heaven and Earth
Grey, ephemeral
amorphous strands
Upon the horizon
an eddied uplift of clouds
transmuting the downpour

I saw
Your cascade of hair trailing
through my thirsty fingers
I smelt
A mnemonic breath of life
echoing lethean silence in death
I heard
Your veiled whisper in my ear
but muted thunder in my heart
I wept
Tracing a time I held you near
yet so distant to me

Grey, ephemeral
amorphous strands
Beyond
Heaven or Earth

This beautiful poem of loss touched a chord with me. It reminded me of the moments after a loved one’s heart stopped beating and I knew they were on a new journey.

now I know why your reviews are always so thoughtful. This is an impressive slice of life. I do believe I shall put a few of your works in my read list for when I am traveling later this week

any you are particularly fond of or would want to recommend?

Thanks for dropping in, I won't be on here much in the coming month, as I am doing a career change that will use up much of my time; however, if there is something you'd like input on, feel free to pm me which piece, and I will look over it when I do have time.

My portfolio is diverse, so it depends on what you are looking for
Short Stories : City of Dreams, Once a Red Moon, Solstafir, Faustian Eidolon, Harvester's Smile
Poetry - Manchineel Valediction, Bluesmith, Ode for Lined Paper, Night's Shroud, Another, I had a Dream (1st, 12th, and Final Night), also my featured poem is bilingual Spanish/English. I do have some structured poems as well; but I figured your comments here likely meant free verse is your preference.
