Lodigiana so pleased you enjoyed and thank you for your wonderous and most gracious comment. And this is my favourite poem of all of them. And this took a week to write to get the balance of love lost and love eternally found. And the swaying back and fore repetition was to signify time passing and of that final magical reunion that subliminally has been a future heavenly echo running and calling through Emma's life. Take care Lodigiana. Shaun.x.

Oh wow! what a wonderful piece of storytelling filled with all the emotions that surpass the passage of time and as relevant today for those hopelessly in love as it was at anytime. The sad tale just pulls the reader into it's grasp and take us on the journey of eternal love and loss and final reunion! I can understand why this might be a favourite of your Shaun..It is certainly one of mine.Lodigiana xx

What a beautiful story. Spellbinding. One of the best poems I have ever read that vividly portrays longing. It brilliantly depicted the power love. A love so pure and conquers death.
