Still I wait

Still I wait, ...as each new day unfurls

and a fresh blanket of dew covers the air today

It seemed to hold these past memories firm

as my mind "Drifted about" feeling you everywhere

Shhh! You can hear the uncanny sound of silence

while the sun continues to lift its weary head

Where are you little one my heart cries out

the air quietly whispers to me ~I'm right here

Your unforgetfull love will help keep me strong

and beauty shall always hold you close

until we meet again One day, but...             

                                                      Still I wait.

    crying......................................................nature carries a soul of its own, that does indeed whisper to you at unperceived moments. Sure the spirit of Adam will ride with that whisper as he moves letting you know of his presence. I'm a believer that there is much more to this world than what our eyes alone can see. Sometimes we need just be still and know.....Beautiful write.

    a loving tribute ...

    to Adam and a beautiful reminder of the ever present soul of someone who has gone before us ... your poem moved me to remember and realize that 'my love' is never far away and what a grand day when we meet again. Good luck in this contest! joy

    Wonderfully penned sentiments so easy to read and understand. Liked the solitude, the quietness of the poem, the flow and the message shared in these wonderful words. Sad, regretful, yet optimistic and onward looking. One writes from the heart when writing about their children, here or in heaven.
