timmy's poetry - 24. Gone

A wonderful poem.

tim, having stood on that beach more than once, your words transport me back there. in doing so i find the heart wrenching grief has been replaced with lingering sadness for the loss and a smile for the fond memories. thank you

The metaphor of dried up rivers and arid watercourses and beaches erased in the tides all reinforce the notions of change and emptiness. I can see the beach, and the sere, dry river. Melancholy and beautiful. 

Beautifully written as always timmie  

Our footprints of togetherness washed away by time’s flow

Beautiful metaphors. Wonderful as usual.

I love it tim. Your poems always connect to the rawest of emotions. XOXO

your words touch deep, as always. Such farewells are never easy, but remembering the positive moments with fondness helps ease the transition a little. Still, saying goodbye is one of the hardest acts in life. your references to silt and sand and the tide washing away shared footprints really brings the sentiment home on an organic level. Beautifully done, tim.  Cheers - Mac

tim--

Such sad, sweet words of goodbye

I understand the longing of what was, before whatever happened to blight it.

You do have a way with words.  Thank you, again, for sharing your talent with us!

The beach metaphor here is really great. Things get washed away, like impressions in the sand, but maybe that's for the best. The sea absolves all things in equanimity. 

 

There's a sense of achieving peace here.

 

Great poem! 

Thank you AC .. it's sad thing.. thanks for reading it xo

Thank you Mac. As you say, Goodbyes are difficulty. It's too bad sometimes that memories aren't so easily washed away.. but some you want to hold onto.  It felt good to write this, to say goodbye after recent events. Part me has much regret.
