I’m sure it’s a quote from someone but I’m too lazy to google it right now and see but this reminded me of the sentiment, ‘those we love never truly leave us’.

This makes me think of the song “I’ll be there”, by The Escape Club.
“On the edge of a waking dream
Over Rivers
Over Streams
Through Wind and Rain
I’ll be there
Across the wide and open sky
Thousands of miles I’d fly
To be with you
I’ll be there”-
Just gave it a listen. The song wasn’t on my radar when the poem was written but I can understand being able to relate the two. I set words free into the ether and then sit back and watch as each gives their own connections to the words. Some things I’ve really worked over and liked barely received a blip of reaction. Some things have just come to me and I never gave a second thought to, and got raved over by comparision.
I liked this because it was short and sweet, spoke volumes in a pint size, and rhymed – which is a struggle for me, so I guess the stars aligned. For me it had nothing to do with death at all, but i can understand that too. Once you’ve set something free it takes on a life of its own. And that’s as it should be.
Thank you stopping to share a comment and the song 🌼

Dear AJ,
Oh, you’re welcome. You know how I enjoy touching your heart especially when candy is involved. 🤭
I’m always gobsmacked by my own response when I read something that will stop and make me think how I can be better at being more generous. For me, this write had me thinking just that. Have I been generous especially with those I love? I really enjoyed the tenderness of this piece. Lovely write, as per. H🌷

Well, now that everyone knows who my muse was, it makes me wonder why you told me to just keep it anonymous!
But you’re here now, so there’s no point in pining on about you with a silly poem – I’ve missed you!Btw…You haven’t seen my Recchiuti Confections Black Box chocolates have you? Just wondering. I can’t seem to find them anywhere? 🌼

Jim and Tupac might have been absolute tossers….. showmen.
Never underestimate the quiet minded ones…..I know I’m one of them.
Good write sweetie 💋 -
I was drawn to the title first. My daughter’s cat is named Goblin. 😂 But this piece is amazing! Don’t try to change them, for sure. Don’t try to own them either. Easier to capture wind

Ahhh, Dear Green 🌿
With every creative word your knowing hand, heart, and mind lays upon the page, a lasting part of your spirit is imbued within it, and an entire work of artful imagery, emotion, and metaphorical magic fashions a litany of life that will breathe for eternity, in the annals of poetic wonderment.
And, to physically preserve these works of wonderment, publish them, that they will be held in the eyes, hearts, and hands of those who will survive and keep you and your unique writings alive for as long as they shall live, for as long as the Government Copyright Archives exist, along with every worldwide personal and public library, and every bookseller around the globe.
You’ll always be “her” and “here”, Dear Poetess, within my poetic heart, mind, and soul.
Paint-on and write-on, and keep that golden pen filled ‘n ready … we need your vibrant words forevermore! ⁓ Richard🖌I do so admire good Free Verse, and this is definitely “good”. 🍷
