i see you in the night sky outlined in a pattern of stars i hear your voice when the wind blows through the tall pines i feel your lips against mine when the rain falls gently in the spring and yet i feel alone as i walk from day to day a shadow cast by my own yesterdays
it was sad.. but so beautiful…
I guess memories of loved ones will stay with us for a looooong time… and sometimes, our own pleasant memories of the past tend to jog beside us for a quite a while… and yet, the loneliness persists…
That longing is very well expressed, Charles…
(hugs)
Such beauty in this one – amazing how we can see and hear people we love in the world around us and in nature…strange also how we often let shadows from yesterday ruin our enjoyment of things xx
Keep the stars in our sight and the winds of the pine in your ears and especially the kisses of memory that the rainfall brings and know that you are not alone….. such a beautiful , sad,heartfelt piece. Joy to you.
I read this as relating to something bigger, than a person, that you see in nature – a connection with a spriituality but not enough to rid a person of feelings of doubt. Great poem Charles.

Memories can warm a heart, but still, the events of yesterday don’t justify the needs of today!
Wow, Charles, how exquisitely sad but lovely!
how sad… once again i am brought to the realization that not everything lasts forever and once again i am saddened
living breathing yearning. love resting in memory everywhere. thank you x
Sad and beautiful at the same time. To some the memories can be comforting.
So beautiful, Charles! I am glad you have happy memories. Now you just need to take the leap into happy present-day (yeah, me too…)
thats tough to get over…
especially with a daily reminder only 12hrs away…
our yesterdays can cast a pretty big shadow #SnowBallEffect

“I feel alone as I walk from day to day….” What a great line.
beautiful and sad.
The overwhelming feeling of longing you present here is beautiful. Very well written.
Sigh! And we are all shadows cast by our yesterdays.
