one last kiss
i dreamed the new year
never arrived
and i was left on the shore
listening to the moon
kissing the sea
as i walked along
a restlessness stirred
within
reminding me
you are always near
january two thousand thirteen

I loved it 🙂 Beautiful…
thank you so much and happy new year my friend
beautiful…and one of my favorites…ever
thank you sarah – thank you very much 🙂
I like your reading.
I didn’t know I hadn’t read the WHOLE poem on twitter! Funny then, what that says of poetry. In the short bit I read, you’d given an impression, a statement… and then there was more!
Like it 🙂
After taking a photo of the nearly full moon last night I had thought of this poem – seemed to fit well with the image. Thanks so much for stopping by for the second stanza!
Beautiful … a reminder that we never forget someone we have loved very much! They are still with us.
Thank you so much, Lola, very happy to see you enjoyed this poem.
This is beautiful.
thank you very much Jedi
