Words, prayers, songs, imagination inflamed by memory.

I understand so much Rani. What a beautiful poem. Life has a way of stripping us of the things we find comfort in sometimes, doesn't it. Nobody goes through it unscathed. Big Hug for this one Ruthy

pain, agony, loneliness-we have to bear alone. it is at such times when the void becomes unbearable, we discover, we were chasing what was never there. then transformation occurs, and you connect to yourself and his all prevading Presence. a lovely, sad but honest poem 10+

I like the images your use to convey emotion in this poem. I also noticed how the reader is subtly guided into a place of hope at the end. Very nicely executed. Much enjoyed. Shirley

These absences cause The evolution of new things In its natural ways. An artist can trap These absences into his trance In one such trance created is this poem. I liked the stance of absence in this poem. I don't want to call it sadness I call it a cause of great creativity. Very good theme and style of write. Thank you.

This one is going straight to my favourites. It's a wonderful wistful write and the poignancy abounds from your pen. I can just see you sitting by the River Seine penning this ode to absence of a cherished one. HG: -) xx

I feel I don't know as much as I should about the writer of this piece. But I found the writing to be excellant. The sentiment is more universal than perhaps the writer implies but that is very good for such a poem because even though I don't know the writer I know of what she speaks. GW62
