Too difficult

To feel your presence

I look for you in the wind

I look for you in my thoughts

I look for you in the garden

And in the bed

And all I find is silence

….

I find little signs;

The sunflower

Which the bird planted

Which I was promised would never flower

Is beaming

Oh,

That’s just one sign

But enough

….

Perhaps I’m looking in the wrong place

I always told you “People, not property”

So I should look to the people you touched

And see you

In them

….

And now the washing machine is done

I will look for you in the laundry

  1. A lovely heartfelt poem that a lot of people will relate to. I haven’t been able to put up your words on ‘hove to’ yet – illness in this house. All good thoughts to you.
