dVerse: prompt “I Miss You”
Missing You
Every breath
One of saddness
I breath in…out
I listen
I stare far away
To the horizon
Could it be…
Do I see you there
I breath in…out
I hear the music playing
Your favorite song
My eyes mist over
I breath in… out
I cannot distinguish time
Your leaving seems
A long time ago or
Like yesterday
I breath in… out
I am filled with my breath
When I breath out
I am surrounded by this sad breath
Which mixes with the sad breath of others
I breath in… out
Everyone missing someone

And the ache may dull, but, it is ever present and yet, we and life, go on.
Beautiful, poignant, and truly, heart felt.
your leaving seems to long ago, like yesterday….true that…and still seeing them…know that too annell…everyone is missing someone….we all have these people…nice spin ma’am. smiles.
love the image of your own sad breath, mingling with others and the knowing you’re not alone as it is so true…we all miss someone and have something we share and in which we are together…nice
Yes, Annell…..the sad breaths mix together in grief for what was and is no longer. To lose a loved one is hard, but perhaps knowing that we are in the company of other mourners gives a small bit of comfort at those difficult times.
I breathe out – in
Wow, the repetition really sells this. Everything fits together for a really powerful poem.
This is such a human poem, and by that I mean universal. We have all, or will all, love and lose. I really like the way the exhalation almost frames this poem as a voice inside my head, like I’m standing there with you- I don’t know if that makes any sense or not!…but that’s how it made me feel
A universal sense of missing…the sound of the water rolling in.and out..as it will always do as generations of people stand by its shores..there is an acute awareness and sadness in the waters of these words..and yet the breath will continue too..Jae x
Hits that sad tender spot that each of us knows about missing someone. The poem itself breathes in and out, mingling its breath with all those others,
