A Forever 'Goodbye'

Recurring dream
sad mist of past
why cloud my soul?
Is question cast
A kindred spirit lost
abyss hollow space
with no goodbye
or forwarding trace
Admired prime peer
wise beyond said age
clever and competent
ahead at every stage
Afore premature demise
key experience entwined
knowing too late
death knell had chimed
Shocked and sorely cheated
with now a decade long
over and over the same dream
still here never gone
A special presence in life
In dream vibrant and well
achieve always my aim
to say all I need to tell
Still an illusional lie
forever in dream
a contacting morse code
ever frustrated stream
So many times in sleep
get to say my goodbye
denied in true flesh
dammed in dreams forever to try!

Goodbye my friend x

Thankyou Tony for your amazing praise you warm a old girl's heart. This is written from truth. Sadly ten years ago a very special friend died and I didn't even know she had been ill. I now have this recurring dream where I tell her and everyone around what I think of her. I can only wonder if this recurring dream is because I never got to say goodbye in the flesh. Anyway thanks again you encourage me to keep on writing xx

Hi Wendy Great poem I was wondering if this were true
that you do indeed have this dream I see above you do
I believe dreams are sometimes messages to tell
us that the people in our lives that have passed are telling us things
Thank you for sharing this one it is written beautifully
Great write
Best wishes Debs xx

Thankyou Debs for comment. Yes I do indeed have this dream regularly. She was a close school friend and we kept the friendship up for many years. We did live in different towns when she died but spoke on the phone. She never mentioned she had breast cancer and was such a shock when her partner rang to say she had died. It really upset me I never got to say goodbye. Thanks again appreciate your take on it. Maybe she is trying to tell me she's ok x
