-- The Last Great Love Song -- by John Herlihy This is my last great love song Sober rhythms sounding a gong On the lilting notes of a piano Whispered echoes pianissimo Tales of love spun over years The melody recalled in tears The many years now spent Much love borrowed, lent Dressed up in love’s attire All awash in love’s desire Lost in the abyss of time Still in moments sublime Love lifted from despair Found in solemn prayer One last feeling awoken One last love song spoken The sweet bird of love flown Into the wind as spirit blown - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Sunday 1 September 2024

I DON'T BELIEVE IT...I REALLY DON'T. OUR APPRECIATED AND TREASURED THOUGHTS OF SUCH A WONDERFUL THING AS....LOVE, WILL NEVER CEASE. OUT OF THE BLUE IT FINDS US AND WE MUST SPEAK OF IT. ENJOYED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Someone once asked me what speaks more of love than a sad love song. Guess your poem answers the question.

It would seem that all the great love songs are similar to your poem because the gist of the matter is that one of the faithful partners dies and the other, so connected, must suffer on alone. Without the kind of loving care that was given to the one who died first.

But life is unfair and the strong must carry on alone.
