Showcase-Sunday: Was it you

Was it you I saw today.

I'm not sure but I want to believe it was.

You were standing there. Silent. Then you turned away just as my hand raised to reach for you. Of course, I knew...It couldn't be, but I believed. I've always believed, since you were here, and then were gone.

There's something each day, and I believe you're there, here I mean, but then...I know you're not.

How could you be so far away and yet I still feel you here and when I need you I look inside and you're there, with me...But not.

You're not hard to find, but impossible to see, yet last night you came to me, in my dreams, on silver wings and clouds of light. Was it real? What is real; What you see or touch, or is it only what you feel.

We touched the sky, the stars and moon, and for a moment you were here, with me. You were real. And when I woke you were gone, I missed you then and evermore, but knew you were here, and yet were not.

Was it you I saw today.

I'm not sure but I want to believe it was. You were standing there silent, then you turned away just as my hand raised to reach for you. But...I've been here before, another day; Yesterday? Tomorrow?

You're everywhere we ever went, I hear you in the strangers laugh. I dream of you, awake, and then the spoon drops and the café is full of people again, but empty of you. I feel your touch in the wind; Cold fingers on my face and I turn...But you're not there, you're inside me, here, where it's cold and dark but for the memory of you.

There's something each day, and I believe you're there. Here.

I'm alone. I don't exist. There is no me without you and yet I am here, and you're not. I place the rose on the stone, the cold slab burning my fingers like the heat of the passion we shared; Then I turn away.

Cold wind strokes my face or was that you. I believe you're here. But I know you're not.

Wanting someone to see but never there is painful. It became more painful when you're seeing someone that you wish to see but again never there. When your hopes came back because she's there but again it was just a dream. Truly depressing and hurting yourself even more. It's fine to have a distance relationship rather than someone that already passed or the relationship you want will far to become true.

I suddenly felt lonely as I was reading it but it was nice.

It's about someone who died...Not really supposed to be sad or happy...Just hints that even a person who has passed away is still there. Sort of.

Certainly a great poem about a "presence" that I think many of us have felt at some time my friend!
Especially once most of your family are gone and for me and it's uncanny how one can feel that presence.
Blessings!

Just some thought I strung together. I'd not call myself a poet...Well, I guess a bad poet is still a poet right? Lol.

Well maybe you should start to plunk your thoughts down more often in your posts my friend. Who knows, they might surprise you Lol.
Thank you for the Engage magafters!
Blessings and take care with this new virus around.

I read you and identify myself every time I remember my father being gone. He just turned fourteen years old from leaving physically and I know that he is always with me even when I don't see him. The closest loved ones never leave us, they live inside us both in the memories and in their ethereal presence, imperceptible but felt.
You are very spiritual and emotional, it is always a pleasure to read you, dear friend, a hug for you and best wishes on this weekend. @galenkp

Hi Mary,

Thanks for taking a read and for sharing your own story. Loved ones are everywhere we go as they live on in our memories.

Thats some deep stuff mate - someone in particular from your past?.. or an abstract of all relationships/existence and being a sentient being?

...on a different note, I am pretty stoked about just releasing a few mins ago this survival demo game I have been work on; I'll only ask you once then leave it, but if you wanted to join - Given your knowledge of aussie outback and bushcraft skill; I'd be pretty happy you jumped in and gave the Demo a whirl - give us some feedback on the environment..No issues if games not your thing, but would be great to have you along -- I could see your imagination and insight being very helpful... I can drop a link if want, but I post under the steem account @ibt-survival if keen.

Nah, just some words I strung together and not based on any real experience. I'll have a look at that game, although I'm not a gamer...I think the last video game I played was 25 years ago. Happy to take a look though.

No worries - is interesting to read your words/thoughts, not everyone shares such stuff - I like contemplating stuff.

Haha all good, games have changed a bit mate.

It's an open world survival game based in Aussie terrain. It's just a demo at the moment while we get the mechanics right. heaps easy to play, you just follow the bouncing ball and we have in game instructions to help testers. Cheers..
