{Sadness and Hope in Separation Poems}

by Dion 

 

Life is Sighing 
Wind Earth Light 
Move together in leaves 
Sighs of loneliness born 
Life endures by touching 
A night bird and a bird of the dawn 
Sing to each other 
Of water falling and rising 
And of our drying tears 
They are as sunlight and wet Earth 
After the rain 
***

What Breathes?
Birth is a thunderstorm in the distance
Life is a slowing of sighing
Death is echoing silence
Everything breathes
***

The Death of my Love
Can I not Love?
No one to Touch 
Now
Darkness Stillness Cold.
What prevents Light and Love reaching its destination?
- Each other.
Where is my love? Where is my Light?
Where is my other?
I sit alone at my porch and look at leaves.
Leaves are not as lonely for they touch and caress as they sway.
I have no one to reflect my life with
I weep these tears 
For the rest of my life.
***

​

Each time a heart breaks 

an opening

Each time an opening 

beams of Light

{Each time I am parted from someone I love}

{we still touch}
