*Silent Spring* *This season has come* *a spring of discomfiture* *since you had to go* *the air is chilly* *the trees appear reluctant* *to open their buds* *their bare branches reach* *starkly dark against the sky* *skeletal statues* *the sun seldom shines* *the sky seems always sombre* *the woods are silent* *there are no bird songs* *the flowers refuse to bloom* *time seems to have stopped* *amid this silence* *and aching absence of you* *my soul seeks solace* *I do not believe* *that nature meant this to be* *serendipity* *your memory stirs* *a feeling of déjà vu* *replete with remorse* *my soul is restless* *filled with a sense of unease* *and uncertainty* *Still* *when I look within* *I am relieved to perceive* *that your light still shines* © Regis Auffray

Moving and beautifully stated. The light of those we miss always shines, however distant. The pain of missing one who meant everything pervades all existence...

I love how your poem, so moody and sad, ends with a bright ray of hope. Wonderfully written!

I recall springs like that. The depressed mind can make the beauty of spring disappear and the chill dampness in the air take over deep within one's thoughts.

I hope that the intense blooming that will come after the rains will bring you out of this depressed mood.

This prose is relatable in so many ways to so many of us Regis. I often feel that the weather exhoes our emotions instead of the other way around. Well done my friend,
