Saturday 16th November 

In the silence 
I miss you quietly 
A gentle ache 
Hits defiantly 

But your absence screams 
A deafening cry 
A sound so loud 
To pass me by 

Yet stillness hums 
With what’s not there 
A heavy weight 
A hollow stare 

Each moment stretched 
Each second long 
The world off-key 
Its rhythm wrong 

Your echo lingers 
Raw, unbowed 
A silent love 
That shouts so loud 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
