Give me to the summer breeze

One final walk together An oldie updated 28/02/20

It's time my love you lived again
removed the widow's black,
leave sorrow for all yesterday's
invite happiness "come back"

So don a dress of pastel hues
paint a smile upon your face,
walk me for a last time dear
to my final resting place.

Take me to the highest hill
give me to the summer breeze,
to gently fall on lush green grass
'neath the shade of aged trees.

Then take your leave, live again
let another share your heart,
as I will love for eternity,
we will never truly part.

a very touching poem about death and love. Sad but happy in its own way; well maybe not happy but hopeful. This is the truest kind of love to have. Great flow here and structure; love it thanks for sharing this poem.

you're welcome, I am also trying to get people to review my poems as I am trying to get published or picked up by a magazine or newspaper somewhere. Thanks

Take me to the highest hill,
give me to the summers breeze,
to gently fall on green grass,lush,
'neath the shade of aged trees.

the lines are well crafted. Combination of hope and melancholy made this a wonderful read.

How sad the heart is when we lose our dearest ones. But, it is good to know that we will live in the hearts of the ones we love the most.
Darling write!

This is so rhythmic it could be put to music. Most people don't do this well placing the words just right to get the perfect sound pattern. I really, really like it. Makes me think of Poe's Annabel Lee except your tone is not so bitterly hopeless.

[Gee]

Thank you for the kind review

Masterfully written, your rhyming scheme as well as the reading meter could not be better, the old English style vocabulary adds so much character to this piece. In the second line you used the word "ditched" and I must admit that your usage of this word escapes me, (that is my way of saying "what do you mean" while tying to not sound to dumb about it :-) Great poem, I ma enjoying your work.

[Gee]

Ditched is dumped,got rid of......Thank you again

this is beautiful....and so opposite of the lyrics in the Beatles' song "Baby's in Black"

this goes in such positive, gentle, loving direction....being there for her with open arms and true love to bring her back to life.

[Gee]

Thanks Jacob,I'm flattered
