But then…how?
How can I face the Lake District
Without you
What can I say to the trees
That we used to caress together
When they feel my cold trembling hands?
How can I comfort the mountain
That we used to climb
When it starts mourning you?
What can I tell the fallen leaves and flowers
That I used to gather
When they realize that
You’re not with me any more to admire?
What can I say to the waterfall
When it hears my lonely footsteps
Without yours rubbing against them?
What about your Ness Garden
Membership card
That’s still hugging mine
How can I show it
To the smiling lady at the gate?
And how can I ease the pain
Of colourful azaleas
And scented roses
When their wondering sad eyes
Question me about your absence?
How can I soothe the aching
Of the birds’ hearts
That used to sing for us
When they look down
And see not your shadow
Holding mine?
