In the fading light I watch you wave goodbye
As shadows fall upon you I cry
As the dark of night descends
I lay my heavy head
And pray, dear God
Bring him back, my breath!
Or take me now
For I’m as good as dead

You have painted the very essence of good-bye in this poem. How could the light not be fading? 10, for you. Love, SandraX
I know how hard it is to say goodbye. A very heartrending piece.
These powerful and affecting words took my breath away, Sonya. So heart-rendingly sad it gave me goosebumps - the mark of an excellent poet! S :)
Verse full of feeling and love. How can one be alive when 'breath' is gone? But God is compassionate He listens to all our prayers and takes care of us accordingly. Trueand sincere love and longing will be rewarded.
I sunk deeply into this poem Sonya as it is exceptionally powerful and moving. Well done with this highly emotional and moving poem. 10 love Karin
