Ever So Quietly

 

photograph compliments of pinterest

 

 

 

When the day breathes cool and the shadows lengthen

and a quietness left behind

fills my thoughts and dreams

 

I think of you

and remember…

 

There are no farewells

 

Love never leaves

It’s found in a heartbeat

that echoes with the joy of a memory

held within the soul for eternity

 

The light within my heart that’s still burning

 

ever so quietly

I don't have a favorite line cause it's hard to separate out one... they all reflect a truth about love that often eludes people.I think that's due mainly to that most never experience lovelike this Julie. It is very apparent that you have and in the places that matter most (memories)still do. You capture it well Julie. ~~redzone

I can't imagine my life without love..whether it is now or in memories..love is what makes it all worthwhile...don't you think? I adore your comments. Thank you :) Julie

I do Julie, I do .. better real though I think.

This is a truly gorgeous verse. While I have yet to experience this sort of love,(unless you count the non-romantic kind) I can appreciate the words and images so beautifully arranged.

Love never leaves, even if the lover does...I thought of unrequited love as I read this piece, the worst feeling in the world...still you have a way of infusing the most painful feelings with your own kind of poetic beauty...nicely done Julie :)

A beautifully contemplative piece of poetry. I feel there is a touch of regret here too.

Love never leaves
It’s found in a heartbeat

That light is what it is all about. May it burn bright both day and night and keep those you love close and safe. It's a lovely and touching poem Julie.
