Separation

A letter to my dear one

On hopes that someday we will reunite again,

 

Over the landscape

Past the hills and under the blazing sun

Where our tree used to be

Remember how we would sit under it and count the stars at night?

Nothing lives there anymore

Nothing but shadows.

The cries of humans are lost

Their voices, their faces

Now all a distant memory

Your face is lost too.

The falcon flies circling looking for prey

The desert goes on for miles

It is unforgiving

There is no sign of life

 

It is all blown away

How can we rebuild what is lost?

 

At times of solitude and loneliness,

I remember the song you would sing me

About the mockingbird, singing for joy

 

-    Les oiseaux ne chantent ici

Their feathers don’t circle down on a child’s lap

Their songs don’t bring smiles on people’s faces

Their smiles are lost

As are the ones who will never make it back home.

this is so visual. like the way you describe the scenery - i can actually feel the loneliness of the area that you are describing where you (or someone) would go with their loved one, creeping over me as I'm reading it. i mean its making me feel like i there right now!!! this is an awesome poem and i hope u kno that ur awesome at this!!!
