My
roots are firmly
In
the hard ground,
I
am now sensibly
Feeling
quite sound,
Growing
passionately
To
where I’m bound,
Joining
my family tree
Not
feeling sadly down.
I’m
in a heavenly place
And
am resting in peace,
I
long to see your face
As
I am not yet deceased.
I
will not just pass you by
With
memories to deny.

A re-edited piece. I only kept the first two lines.
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
That's a serious re-edit, Andrew! I especially like the lines: "Growing passionately
ReplyDeleteTo where I’m bound..." It's good to see that you are solidly in a good place, especially after reading some of the heartbreaking poems from when you were ill.
Thank you Louise, for your kind words and sentiments, they are greatly appreciated. I am in a good place, and have a nice routine visiting my family and friends - who Keep me rationally sane! They are all a great help. And the meds I'm on suit me, so that's a blessing keeping me from stressing. And I love writing, which occupies my mind and gives me something to do. I've been editing all of my poems, as a lot were mediocre, which I've now touched up. Mostly I've been sorting the meter out in my pieces, trying to get all of the lines a similar length. Thank you for your kind concern for my well-being. Blessings to you. Enjoy your Sunday. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
