In Best Belief

(written four months ago and far from being resolved)

hearts weep in silence

eyes mist with pain

over and over

a record plays

when will we see you again

when will we see you again

my love

when will we see you again

when the last of birch leaves

flutter down

in a flurry resembling rain

till then my love

on hopes we cling

we'll sing a song of best belief

we'll sing a song of memories

and beg it's not in vain

'...when the last of birch leaves
flutter down
in a flurry resembling rain' -
You portray the emotions with this above line in such a vivid way, that I got completely carried away..
What a powerful imagery, dear Chris..
Sometimes, life brings some painful turns but with "song of best belief", this too shall pass, probably.

Sweet words to wish a safe return when Birch leaves
are falling again when the Rain gives Earth a peaceful Refrain...
until we meet again... tenderly, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

Dear Pat, sorry for my late reply and many thanks for your encouraging one. All good wishes.

Thank you dear Lisa. I need to write some new ones, but have well over five hundred in my catalogue here. Thank you for your thoughts and a special thank you for reading this one again. That is so much appreciated. I am so busy at the moment, but pleased to say it is a sunny day here. We do need rain too, but not too often. Have a great day.

You are always welcome..

Your poems are always easy to understand and touching, Chris. There's lots of emotion and sentiment in this one. Covid pulled many people apart, for some it changed the course of their future.

Great writing, Chris.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Tim. I want my poetry to be assessible, so you have paid me a huge compliment. Keep it simple, that's my mantra.

A really good write....Is it about a missing person?

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you light and ashes. Yes, this write was about a missing child. He was missing for five long months until the courts resolved the problem. Now we can see him again and what a difference that makes.

Falling leaves resemble a rain of sorrow and longing sometimes. Such beautiful lines for a loved one. This poem is so relevant in these sad covid times. Always so sad when life creates these distances and barriers and the heart asks over and over, when will we see them again. Yet we must keep the faith. This is such a gem of a poem, dear Chris.

[Chris Shaw]

Your lovely reviews always offer encouragement, particularly at this time when my poetic voice has gone DIVYA. Thank you, thank you, thank you

[DIVYA]

[poetgurl]

this could be song lyrics, I remember a song called
"when will i see you again"
This is wonderful, full of feelings.
I really like your writes

[Chris Shaw]

I recall that song too Lady K. I quite often find myself going lyrical. Can't sing though :) Many thanks for reviewing.

Chris
