I thought of you with love today
but that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
All I have are memories
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake
with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,
I have you in my heart.

(in memory of my late husband)
 

I love all the poems, but having lost my husband, too, this one really speaks to me.  Thank you for posting it, Barre.

sandhan, I forgot to mention that I love your poems, so please keep them coming.  I remember you wrote one about your special place that you go to or something like that, can't remember how it went. 

Here's another one.  (that'll teach you to encourage me!)


Outside of time,
Sink deep into the moment.
Find the joy that swells
Beneath the urgent turbulence of time--
Not despite,  but free from circumstance

    At the center of the world is a secret place
    Where llives are rewoven,
     Mistakes unravelled,
     Lost battles won,
     Mirrors unshattered,
     Harps restrung.
     At the center of the heart is a healing place.

                     
                              After long darkness,
                              A tiny sliver of Light...
                              Yes, it is enough.
