MARIE

A lovley woman

You glided away on a western wind

So silently, I didn’t hear your going

Even the sun’s reflection is dimmer knowing

The biggest diamond within it’s crown 

Has forever gone

That s you Marie, that’s you.,.

Some people make a difference

Just by their very being

That’s you, Marie, that’s you

So full of joy and life

But death, so jealous, cut you down

With his cold and heartless knife

I didn’t need to know you well

Your dazzling smile warmed any room

You were sitting in

You were beautiful

Inside and out

Of that there is no doubt

I only found out today

But I’m reeling with shock

And I’ll miss you more than I can say.

I didn’t even say goodbye

The world is colder now

And diminished by your going

Marie has gone.
But she seems to be around.
Her smile and her beauty still amuse you.
You keep talking with her as if she is still over there.
Amazing write.
[P.S:That s you Marie, that’s you.,.---one apostrophe on t of "That s" will make it alright]

Moving poem - it is never easy to lose someone - good luck to you and I am sorry for your loss - wonderful poem

What a wonderful tribute to a friend. That penultimate stanza is one so many could have written, except we didn't and you did, and superbly.

'Some people make a difference ~ Just by their very being .. ' How true.

nice heartfelt poem, though the ending could use a little work to be more consistent with the poem's tone. :)
