    Beneath the Tree

     

    There you are, how long have you been sitting under that tree

    Don’t you know that everyone is looking for you

    I need to go tell the others

    Please don’t move, stay right here

     

    Where did you go

    I returned yesterday and you had left

    Why don’t you come with me

    You’re not hurt are you

     

    You keep disappearing

    Can’t you hear me

    They have been looking for you for days

    Speak to me, let me know what is wrong

     

    When I returned with the others they said I was crazy

    I know that you’re safe

    I see you; you're near enough for me to touch

    Why are you doing this to me

     

    I went to your funeral today

    I sat by the casket while everyone cried

    Everyone placed flowers by your grave

    Everyone but me, because I just can’t tell you goodbye

    They are nearby, just a different realm of the universe where we cannot go, but sometimes see. Powerful write from one with a knowing eye.

    This is such a beautiful portrayal of grief and denial. I know this poems truth well and have lived it too many times in my own life. It takes courage to face the things that hurt us most and letting go can be one of the greatest challenges of all. Very well done, soulwriter.

    Your comments are kind and much appreciation for your time.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
