Here I cry

Dedicated to anyone who has lost a best friend...

 

Here I cry

 

Feathered mist does gather at my waiting

Melodies, now dance about my brain

Found of times the hours are negating

Dreaming of your beauty once again

 

Feel your touch, my skin it does remember

Softer still, the moonlight in your eyes

Days before, in shadows of September

Breathing comes as lonely filtered sighs

 

In my dreams, I see we are together

Running free, the wind upon your hair

Soaring high like two birds of a feather

Heavenly, I pray I find you there

 

Standing here, my eyes they search the meadow

Of the grass now flowing in the view

Silhouettes, my heart it tends to follow

Here I cry, it seems I always do

Oh, so beautiful. This is the imagery and beauty of classic poetry. I love the colors and the feelings. "Heavenly, I pray I find you there"--what a line, my friend! Wow. Incredible write for sure. Powerful...

Jack, you really know how to set those emotions, don't you? This was so emotional and touching, I have never lost a best friend before, then again, I don't have one but I couldn't imagine losing some I cared about. I lost my Grandpa, he was my best friend so I know how it is.... Such touching sentiments, sweetie, I loved it. Well done.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much my sweet friend.

[rhythm&blues]

[Jack...]

Your sweet words make me smile this morning. Thank you.

[Kristin Lee]

Lovely. There is an underlying sadness to it. but it is very lovely indeed. "In Shadows of September." Why does everything happen in Septmeber? It's just a crumby month lol. Great write up.

[Jack...]

Yeah I know Kristin, Sept is a month I could do without. Thanks so much

[Bradley Layton]

you know jack, I read it a few times and wanted to quote a section, but, as i read each one and read agian... I couldnt find one to quote simply because each one pulled me close as the one before. very well done

[Jack...]

Thanks Brad, I appreciate it.

Jack..
This is honestly the kind of poetry i like, thank you for sharing this. In many of these stanzas i had to stop and re-read them. Because they're so beautiful, i just... Wow every emotion in this piece left me completely out of words to say. Just a year ago i've endured a loss of a very good friend of mine, to whom i had the pleasure of going to school with. Now you've just just given me hope, that i will see her again someday.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Zachary. I appreciate you stopping by and leaving such kind words.

Wow! Just like my old poem "Missing My Best Friend".

It's really upsetting when we can't do things with our best friend like the old days.

Nice!

[Jack...]

Thank you so muc sweet Dhaye
