the physical absence
ms
brings an empty ache
missing you already
a gravesite gathering
family saying goodbye
hugs, tears, prayers
taken for granted
moments with you
yearning for more
Yearning

Retired. Having fun shooting Fujifilm cameras. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku. Have a love for fountain pens.

Both of my parents have been gone over 30 years, but I still imagine conversations that I might or should have had with them. The tears come less often now but the ache remains.

Thank you for sharing, Tom! I like to believe I can still have some form of conversation with them in a new way. Maybe that is no more than some thought or memory.
