my only love Pat who passed on September 2005 travel in peace my love

A long way we must travel far off the beaten track up steep terrain and down to flattened ground always keeping to hidden paths and thick cover far from the known world we enter into secret. Land where no humans have ever stepped foot all around us is a hidden glen with a waterfall tumbling into a wild beautiful lake with rocks all around its edges and wild flowers scattered. A voice whispers if you drink from me a curtain will lift allowing you to see into the spirit world where for a short time you will be able to speak to those who dwell here just say the name Of the one you lost all those years ago and he will reply to you telling you that you should let go and move on I cry out to him you are the only one I can love no matter how long We are parted my heart always belongs to you you will always be my only love a sigh is my answer as the curtain closes and I again lose him ----------------------------------------------------------

Dearest Shadow, what a deeply moving tribute to your love, Pat, who passed away in September 2005. The heartfelt scenes of traveling through hidden paths and encountering a secret glen is enchanting. Also, your expression of longing and eternal love is deeply, touching the heart with its raw emotion and haunting beauty. Such a heartfelt piece Shadow. Blessings, my friend, Daniel

Your poem was poignant and captivating, Shadow. I felt sorrow and grief as your story unfolded. His words of 'letting go' brought mist to my eyes. The ending left me breathless. Outstanding, dear Shadow. Wishing you a pleasant evening, hugs, Sara
