~ Along the River

 

I stared, for hours;

Until I felt a warm hand

On my shoulder,

 

     So I turned around

To catch a glimpse of your face,

A fragment of touch;

 

     And I saw nothing,

Not even you, but you were there,

I knew we traveled to Japan,

     It was another river,

     Another air;

 

On the “Shinano”

We are and stare...

 

While the Sun arises

    In a golden light,

 

And the day would come soon,

 

     You just touched

           A bit of the so

Silver  moon.

My Dearest Eli,
You know how I feel about the Sun... transcending a warm touch like no other...

To feel the existence of what we truly believe, desire, even when standing alone brings comfort to a wondering heart. As a new day approaches and evening bids a fond farwell once again, you stand not alone, but held tightly by what you truly miss and endlessly cherish and the waters below reflect your smile. Very beautiful my sweet friend.

Thank you so much my sweet friend, for these words.... I'm honored by your visit, take much care...

Memory fragments ~
lingers in the ocean as the slight touch of wind
I felt you, so cold yet so warm deep within.
our past maybe behind us, as I move forward
a part of you still and always will
be remembered.

~ that's my reflection upon reading this beautiful poem big sis. Big thanks for sharing such feelings in a poem.

You only you, (I think) can almost feel me so balanced dear one. :) I'm truly happy you got it. There is beauty in moving on... :) yes! But there are memories, along our journey that keep us truly "alive" Thank you with whole my heart dear Bro, for reading and reviewing, I can't wait to be back for yours.... much love and hugs x

There is a beautiful romanticism about this . Water cleanses, it calms and mesmerizes us. I am drawn to water as I am drawn to your poem with its gentle memories and comforts. Ghosts of time past may linger and echo in our hearts for eternity.

Thank you, thank you for these beautiful words Anne. I carry them with me... *smiling*
