Parting



Parting is such sweet sorrow
Yet in the morrow
I’ll be there.
No matter how long
I’ll remain strong
Your soul needs to be free
Such as me
We’ll meet again as time will surely tell.
After this parting
The heart knows best where it belongs,
Whom it is to be with
Whether years or centuries
This heart will be waiting
Since there can only be
One true love…though there were many.
We love…I weep, I cry, I wait
Through this parting
I know that we will be together again
My arms will be open
My heart will never close
Never heal, until you are in my arms again.

This reminds me so much of a poem that I have posted here. It is titled, "Absentia." I can so relate to your feelings and to the meaning within your verses, Helen. Thank you for sharing this offering. Love and peace. Regis

Parting and loss are so difficult to live with. You portrayed the grief and longing so well, Helen.
