Poetry: Missing a loved one

by Wendy Minks

Created on: November 25, 2008

Shoes on the Doorstep

Shoes on the step, blanket on the floor

- Are you there, at my door?

Cup on the table, scent in the air

- I go to look, but no one's there

Fold the blanket, wash the cup

- Reach for the shoes, but can't pick them up

The house feels empty, but strangely full

- Memories of love and joy that cannot dull
