I am no writing expert at all, so I will just write down my thoughts. Of course the one I wrote today was about Dustin. I miss him more than words can say. No matter how much time passes, I will always have a void, and a hole in my heart. I know his love is forever in my heart. But some days that just doesn’t seem to be enough. Somehow I push through and hope tomorrow will be a better day…
Thought of you today
I would give all to see you
I love you always
I love it Carol, I just came across it now. Your Haiku is fabulous!
Very touching Haiku…thanks for sharing it in the challenge, as well as the photo
Thanks, it was my first and just my thoughts! Favorite photo of course.
Carol you are a natural Haiku poet I can see from this one. Made me sniffle!
Oh my you are too kind, this was my first ever. The words just came out.
This feels like a great place for me to start writing, with this style of poetry.
I don’t feel overwhelmed because I am actually limited with my words!
I think this is how you send him a message for your great love. And he will read it.
I absolutely believe that as well, thank you my friend.
I am sure that you have found the beautiful light of wisdom, and this story is just a shadow of beautiful memories. This is a lovely sincere writing. Thanks, Carol!
Thank you Albert, I was trying to follow LaJenna’s rules of 5-7-5 syllables.
Always welcome, Carol. Yes, I understand the reason.
Nothing can ever fill that void. But it is great that you can express it, and talk about it. There’s no doubt in my mind that ventilating our feelings about such things does help in some way. My bereavement counsellor mentioned to me that some families can’t even mention their child’s name or talk about him at all. This way is better, painful as it is.
Everyone has to find their own way as you know. I personally think the sooner you talk and express, the sooner you start the grief work. It is a very slow process. Baby steps. I still tear up 15 years later just saying his name but that is ok. I love him and miss him.
