I Feel Your Absence Poem by Sheena Blackhall

I Feel Your Absence



I feel your absence when the crickets chirp
When thrushes trill their woody serenade

I feel your absence when the larches creak
And fox steps secret through the mossy glade

I feel your absence like a fallen oak
A not-there presence in my fractured now
For Death has stolen the rose's lovely scent
And grief hangs bleeding from the yew tree's bough
