Simple, powerful poem.
Syllable count was right.
The short lines still contained the emotion needed to convey the heart nicely.
Good job and so sorry for your loss.

You wrote a beautiful poem and it keeps with the guidelines of 5-7-5-7-7 syllabic count. It is a lovely poem that flows like one thought. It is a well written tribute to your husband. It is heartfelt and deep. I enjoyed reading it!

What you write here is why I have always have been drawn to the mountains to the point of rock climbing. I have been on many summits and really, up there it feels like you are close to the sacred. Sorry about the anniversary of your husband's death. I don't know where you live, but if you are close to mountains, treat yourself and take yourself there.

Hello, LoannaLois. Most importantly, I want to tell you that I feel for you and your endless loss. This is a maginificent dedication. How you wish to reach him. Even Nature, and very possibly all things, become a reminder.

Powerful words of love and longing.
It is impossible to lose those we love so much without eons of grief and pain.
Your words provide an outlet, a positive gleam of hope.
Excellent. I am so sorry for your loss.

"The mountains so high
seem to reach out to heaven
as my heart looks up
and wishes I too could reach
out to that which is beyond."
this is a sublime piece of poetic art! i love the imagery and the message of the poem!
thank you for sharing!

Your poem touched my heart, especially after I read that you have lost your husband. I am sorry. I lost my father years ago, and after many years alone, my mother found a wonderful man to her life. So don't give up. You will find love, or better, love will find you one day. Thanks for your poem.
