I lost my wife in 2015 unexpectedly. She lingered for a week and then I had to make a hard decision. It is really an indescribable feeling and I have never found a word suitable to describe it. Nothing is the same after, even the most fundamental daily activities can seem pointless. Your poem captures some of these feelings in me very well.
Thanks again Ann for your lovely comment. I'm glad it made you smile. It was originally meant as a death poem and I changed some words at the end of it - it still is really but in a joyous way as I see it. I read it as a reading for a friend who's dad passed recently he was a fisherman and boater in the Rockaways here in NY. I read it the way I originally wrote it. And they loved it.
This is very beautiful, I am not sure of its real meaning though? I see it as a death and rebirth into heaven?
Oh Sylvia, your comments mean so much. You have such deep understanding of what I was trying to convey. Thank you so much.

Outstanding work Ann. So much can be taken from this. After losing loved ones, one of the toughest things to do is revisit old surroundings. I have yet gained the courage to do so, some day I will. Your poetry expresses all stages one goes threw, in times of grief, and is helpful to so many.
Trust me i know what you a passing through.
Try to be strong dear
Thank you for making me smile, yet again. Very best wishes, Ann.
This poem depicts me and my soul, my heart for her love. Every time I am taking care of the rose bushes, taking photo of the most beautiful roses to send them online to my love. There is a secret garden in my soul other than the bushes I ever planted and watched them grow. The roses that link me to her from ten thousand miles away. I LOVE YOU "YYY"
Thank you for sharing this poem. It is full of healing words for a heart in pain.
