Ah...you bring back bittersweet memories of when we had to let our 'Bear' go, her eyes on mine as she lay in my lap. Hard times for sure. Super well-written poem that truly communicates the loss, the hurting, the 'doing the right thing' emotions without going over the top. ~fyn
This made me smile! I can think of many folks who would do well to read this and get, perhaps, a good reminder! I'm using it in this week's For Authors Newsletter. ~ Fyn
I really liked this poem, as I've had the same thoughts that you expressed so well. Especially these ending lines: How odd to think their brilliance
May have burned out long ago,
But their light is just now reaching us!

And that moment . . . makes all the difference in the world! Shine on! As Kind Arthur in Camelot said,
"One of what we all are, Pelly. Less than a drop in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea. But it seems that some of the drops sparkle, Pelly. Some of them do sparkle!"

WOW. Extremely powerful. This is one I will remember. I checked your bio block, wanting to know more about you, but, sadly, you haven't added it as yet. This poem, however, spoke volumes about who you are. ~fyn
Awwww...sad and sweet all at the same time! Know the feeling well. Slightly different, but the same in the long run! Great read! I'm using this piece in my Authors newsletter this week. ~fyn
Hard to say I 'enjoyed' this poem but more, I think I enjoyed how you communicated a difficult set of feelings. Particularly the line: in the outskirts of our love. <---excellent phrase! Fresh and different!

Yeah, you nailed being there. Spot on. I've never forget as a parent, standing on the deck of the aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagen (CVN 76) with the Navy personnel lining the decks at attention. We parents, all saluting as well. After we passed, I looked around. EVERYONE had tears streaming.
