My Walk

Today I went for a drive and a walk,
I chose the place where I first took you,
to see if I could enjoy this and maybe meet someone to talk,
I remember so much, how you enjoyed the view,

Along that stretch of pier,
looking across those men of steel,
thinking of your love I held so dear,
wondering in my mind now, how you feel?,

I walked slowly on the sands,
where your picture I took by that statue you posed,
no longer was I there with you holding hands,
I assume now, that picture you have disposed,

You had your first taste of fish and chips,
all wrapped in paper and no forks too,
whilst here this became your favourite dish,
all this I remember as I stood their looking at the view,

Walking quietly and softly on the sands,
not wearing my hearing aids to deaden the sound,
I wonder if you think of me in your homelands,
memories linger on and all around,

Wind fresh and brisk in my face,
walking quite a distance so I tire out,
searching for you, but no longer a trace,
mind clear but heart still holding that doubt,

I watched the sun set over the waters,
slight drizzle a soft refrain,
I hope all is well with you and your daughters,
Moving away and walking back to my car, will I ever see you again.

Loved the poem. Nature depicted here harmonizes with all-embracing sadness impregnating the poem and intensifies the feeling of loss. Memories of how good it was haunt and follow you everywhere. I felt so sorry and helpless. The only remedy for such stress, as it seems, is time. "Time is a circus, always packing up and moving away." (Ben Hecht). Hopefully, time will pack and move away all that is painful in your memories! Thank you very much for sharing!hug
