Not Here

Under the oak tree on the hill by a restless brook

Taking in all that is God’s beauty

Here, I rested lightly

However you were not here



And when the evening purple seized the horizon

Swallows danced in the sky

By now, weary grew I

Why were you not here?

It's a poem I wrote on request for a nine year death anniversary of my very close friend's mum. I was very close with her too till she passed away from cancer.

The poem reflects my memories of her.
