In the Highland Heather Grows

In a vast field wild heather grows
peacefully resting dreams reborn
roots dug deep healing water flows
in a vast field wild heather grows
your song and light forever glows
tears of sorrow hearts gently mourn
in a vast field wild heather grows
peacefully resting dreams reborn

sharing with Poets United
wishing you peace in your new journey
my dreaming friend..you are not gone
just transformed.

    Heather is something that at least in Sweden has been associated with death.. and your triolet sings a song of real beauty.

    It's so difficult to lose and to grieve a dear friend....feeling your grief through these words and wishing you comfort as you remember her song and light.

    So comforting, wild heather, the hope of dreams reborn, and your words accompanying the poem - that your friend is not gone, just transformed. A very beautiful triolet.

    the spirit lives on. pain is felt in the loss by those who remain in the mundane. their soul probably does not

    Friends may leave us but there is always part of them talking to and laughing with us. We are not whole unless we have others still on our minds.
