This beautiful book is a moving collection of ninety poems exploring the themes of death, separation and bereavement. When a beloved partner dies, a long lasting bond comes to an end. The one left behind enters a silence, the daily exchange of words no longer there. Former Waldorf teacher Maarten Ploeger has written an inner dialogue with his wife after her death -- an intimate conversation which offers great rewards for the reader. This is a very special book which will give strength to those in the first phase of loss, and a sense of wonder and appreciation to all readers. 'Heyday' Honeymoon of mourning maelstrom of feelings reigniting love You on your wings there I here on mine there and here melting in crucible of undivided being together still Heaven is no place is consciousness here as there there as here a dance moving us Softly we touch with feelings of before again in love sensing again the wings of the butterfly the butterfly you have become
