Thank you for reading and commenting. Pleased you enjoyed, and much appreciated.
I salute to you for this exquisite piece of poetry though emanating out of a personal tragedy. Loneliness engulfs the sensibilities of a reader. I can understand your position. Thanks.
An excellent write, Valerie. The last parts pierce right into my heart. I think this is your second or third poem I am reading and I love your style of writing. Comes somewhere deep within, very personal and very touching. Thank you.... Ayman
Wow - Stunning poem about being alone, fantastically written. x
Bursting with the beauty of a rose that causes one to say-wow! Yet loaded with a load of loneliness that causes one to say-sad! Excellently expressed my friend!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of work, your words spoke volumes to me. It all rings so true. I was with you with every word you wrote. Steve.
Very simple yet very moving. Touched my heart and soul. Recently had bunch of surgery, was in a coma, on life support, the doc saved my life because everyone was praying for me. This poem reminded me that afterwards I was thinking about my own death and my family. I was alone in my thoughts, crying for them, because I could see in my mind, their grief if I hadn't made it, and it really got to me. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
