I picture your smile amidst the swirling snow,
one that made the view outside seem less cold
remember days when nothing was impossible,
not even sun glittering from behind grey skies.
Echo of memories replace what had been once,
now that you are gone.

“remember days when nothing was impossible”
I think we all do. So sad, Sanaa.
Definitely❤️ thanks for stopping by, De 🙂
A sad poem… the echo of all those missed opportunities
Perhaps those opportunities were meant to be missed 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Bjorn ❤️
Another sad poem. The idea of the echo, reminding us of something gone, is so powerful.
Definitely❤️ thanks for stopping by, Jane 🙂
I don’t know which is worse: an echo of memories of a time long gone, or that day when the echo finally fades into silence and no memory at all. Very nice take on this prompt.
Thank you so much, Linda 🙂 so glad you liked it ❤️
(I agree whole-heartedly with your view)
Such a sad Quadrille, Sanaa. I really like the lines:
‘I picture your smile amidst the swirling snow,
one that made the view outside seem less cold’.
Thank you so much, Kim 🙂 so good to see you ❤️

Memories do echo when someone missed is no longer there.
Definitely❤️ thanks for stopping by, Frank 🙂
So familiar. Remember the days? Yes, I do, and I try not to forget them by keeping that belief alive.
Thank you so much, Victoria 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
Great quadrille–but for me it doesn’t resonate with sadness–rather the beloved is gone, perhaps passed on–and your shared memories constitute raw hope, accommodation, leaving speaker & reader with a warm spot under their heavy jacket; smile.
Thank you so much, Glenn 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
(It could be that)

I know it’s crazy, but the thing I first thought of was the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. Him smiling in thin air without his body. Your picture paints the view of the past materializing out of thin air. Beautiful!

Ah… this makes me feel grateful to be heading into spring.

The melancholy you’ve weaved into this wee piece is as thick as the blood of heartbreak. So much pain contained in those dark clouds, in the absence of the sun…

This is so bittersweet, I think. Remembering a smile that warms the cold, and then you have the echo of memories when they’re no longer there. Lovely write!
Thank you so much, Lynn 🙂 so glad you liked it ❤️
Oh those echo of memories, some bitter, some sweet none ever as good as what once was. Poignant words, beautifully written, Sanaa.
Thank you so much, Raivenne 🙂 so glad you liked it ❤️
A nice read, Sanaa. Things no longer here were to be recalled, seeming bigger than they were. Amplified by the echos ever present, like ringing in the ear.
