Pink peaches I will keep remembering till today … You’re haunting me the same … you’re killing me the same. Such craving is in me for you! Oh what a wistful day, The sky that is the same. The tree that’s very much the same … The wind that blows the same. The willow's bending down. The sun that’s just the same. The winding road – the same. With all my might I’ll tell the wind that’s westward bound In similar voice I'll tell the grief that’s very much the same.

Thanks yet again, your efforts are much appreciated.
marika, it's an interesting poem. seems to be commenting on the observation, often in bemused amazement, that the world and all in it is still actually the same even when love changes, either coming into, or going out of a life. A very poignant observation. thanks.
