Honestly- I cannot understand this type of poetry. I understand that it exists as a form of poetry- my shot at the meaning here - God - pure consciousness is all there is - all else is animated by the light of pure consciousness- therefore- when your body (not the real you- pure consciousness) is reconstituted back into star dust - predecessors will be able to find you everywhere- moonliight - childrens voices ext etc because you will now be pure consciousness. All there is- poem- afar? Or far - used face a couple of times? But there again probably okay in blank verse? Not the best review guy hug

Comment from Janetsue
This is a positive poem written in free verse style and presented colorfully with a beautiful sunset picture. While dark clouds may be overhead, the joy of remembering loved ones is heartwarming and joyous. It is a wonderful thing to feel their closeness. This is a lovely posting, Gypsy. :-)

Comment from Leann DS
You have written a lovely poem here. The imagery is something I can see, and feel, And hear.
If I were to make any changes, I would change one of the "caresses my face" parts. You have that same phrase in there twice.
Thanks for sharing. I love it! Hugs and blessings.

Beautiful poetry here. I love the theme of reassurance, that our spirit carries on in nature and in love. Just really beautiful poetry. This is a six star with nary a complaint.

Comment from Colleen The Garbanzo Bean
What a great poem! Death is a difficult topic to write about, and you have done it in a way that doesn't sound cliché or forced. It has great flow and imagery, and genuinely made me feel calm and comforted.

Wish you entered this into the Free Verse contest, Gypsy! This is beautiful and what a comfort it is to know that our loved ones are always near by as we remember them and their influences on our lives and the lives of those all around us!

Thank you very much, Helen, your opinion means a lot to me. I thought about this poem last night while I laid in bed quite awake until 4 am :( sometimes I have trouble falling asleep.

💖 Thanks for sharing. Sometimes the muse is active at night. Hope you caught up on sleep. Does it make a difference what time you take certain medicines / supplements? I know I can't take vitamin D at night or I'll be awake!!
-
I take antidepressants and mood stabilizer... It does make a difference. Caffeine and and sugar affects them. I had some m&Ms right before I went to bed... I won't make that mistake again. Also I can't drink alcohol but I never do anyway, unless a special occasion and only one drink.
Thank you very much for caring.
Big hugs

Glad you know the triggers. Hope you catch up on sleep tonight!

Yes, me too. I felt lousy all day. I am getting my cold back. I think we just pass it back and forth :(

Do you take elderberry? Sambucus? Vitamin C? You need more immune support. Of course, living with little ones means you get exposed to everything!
Comment from Jasmine Girl
This is a beautiful and sad poem. It's also uplifting at the same time. There are so many phrases I like in this poem:
I'll be in the summer breeze
caressing your face
In children's laughter.
I wish I had a six for you.
Well done.
