In the quiet corners of my soul,
Where shadows linger and memories stroll,
A whisper echoes, soft and low,
Of days gone by, of ebb and flow.

The heart once bright with love and cheer,
Now holds the echoes of each tear.
Yet, in the sorrow, strength is born,
As night gives way to hopeful dawn.

Though you are gone, your light remains,
In whispered winds and gentle rains.
Your laughter echoes in the breeze,
Your love, a balm that never leaves.

Nora Blake’s poem “Shadows of the Heart” explores the lingering presence of a loved one through memories and the enduring impact of their love, offering a sense of hope amidst sorrow.
