Nearing midnight, in darkness, I retreat
Groping around to find my place of rest;
Marshmallow pillows, sheets of rose petal fragrance
Extended arms rendered in search of a human form
Fitful in bed with all that surrounds
Dreams of a kiss, an embrace, a gentle hand clasp;
Suddenly, abrupt open eyes herald stark reality—
Sadly it be, I sleep with you solely in memories
UNSPOKEN LOSS - SYNOPSIS
When you have lost your perfect mate, people extend comfort with reminders of loving children, grandchildren, family, and friends that remain. Although their love and concern is comforting, it cannot extinguish the searing loss of the human touch that speaks so deeply without words. It is this touch that bridges all the senses to the soul, elevating mankind above all other life forms on earth.
