I came across another old piece of writing / poetry which I had posted up when I first started this blog back in the summer of 2008 … I’d like to share it with you all and get your thoughts on it …
I might have subconsciously selected this one … some of you know that I lost my grandfather a few months ago .. even now to put that down in black & white brings tears to my eyes … so perhaps that’s why I connected once again with this piece of writing …
Adieu
The final goodbye
is somewhat
similar to a
first hello
Uncertainty, anxiousness
a slight fear
overcomes you
The first hello
is rewarded with
a bright smile
The final goodbye
is said with
the moist glistening
in the eyes;
the hard lump
at the back of the throatThis goodbye is
forever in death
yet not so final
in memory....© DazeDiva
I’d like to know how you feel when you read this ? What image comes to mind ? Do the words express what happened in that image ? Have you experienced something similar ? Are you able to relate to this ?
There are references to a first hello and a good bye which could be taken in two ways … losing a loved one from a personal relationship i.e. break-up, separation or losing someone by way of passing on …
Whether you like it, love it, hate it or think it’s not real poetry – I’d really like to know .. so don’t be shy with your comments !
