The poet remembers someone who is away in a set of rhyming couplets. Her friend's words are whispered in the trees, and stars bring added happiness.

However, the final couplet indicates that in truth she is lonely and needs a real body rather than a memory.

Cheers,
DW

An excellent poem. The poem flowed and connected well.
The author's words were strong, emotional and thought provoking. The artwork is perfect and complement's this poem.

Nancy, this is exceptional in the meter and rhyme. The strong emotive words are moving and strike a familiar cord with anyone who misses their true love. Well done. :0 GracieAnn

Beautiful analogies present in this piece. I love the opening line "I dream while you're away, I hear you on the breeze". This line sets the tone that the whole poem follows of yearning, romance, and desire for the one you love. The photo which appears old fashion nicely compliments the word choices from old English poetry such as "e're". The poem itself hints at the romanticism found in poems by the great poets such as Wordsworth, Chaucer, and even Shakespeare with the element of parted lovers. The rhythmic pattern interwoven throughout this poem helps it flows eloquently, maintaining a concise, consistent meter throughout. The stanzas float seamlessly transitioning from one to the next incorporating vivid imagery into the descriptive lines. Well written conveying passionate emotions and producing an intense impact on the reader.

This is so very beautiful, and you drew me in from the beginning. I could feel your lonliness and yearning for him to return to you. He's with you from morning into night, yet you seek the the realness of him, for dreams and thoughts are never enough. I have to read this again and again, so I say Bravo to this, and know how much I enjoyed. . .Sharon
