Is It Me

Is it me? Is the breeze in a closed room Just my imagination? Is the whisper of my name Only a fragment of a dream? Is that soft brush Against my shoulder Your gentle touch? Show me a sign. Remember? We talked about this.

Hello Ellen, So glad that I rushed right over to find this poem today. Questioned whether a room is really empty when we leave(?) Perhaps not. Not while a memory takes hold and tugs us back to a moment. I enjoyed the special two in yours. -Richard

John, it could very well be that you have "visitors," especially if you've lost someone close. I sometimes feel that my whole family and a couple of friends are with me. And boy, it's getting crowded in here!

I sometimes feel there is a presence in the room with me, but I’m sure it is my imagination…or is it?
