You died on a Monday evening,
The beginning of an end
I heard a screaming in my head
The announcement "She is dead."
Pain and scratching in my chest
As you lay yourself to rest
Climbing inside of myself,
You shattered into light
Muted voices and memories fading,
Curling at the edges.
I'm sorry we never became
What fate intended us to be
You took a piece of me away
And that's alright by me
That part belonged to you;
It's yours...through and through.
So what, here, am I left with?
I walked myself along, looked up and heard a song
It sounded like your laugh and I knew it was your sign
Telling me you're with me as everything between us
Slowly realigns.
I've seen you appear in the most unlikely of ways
You are alive in the world, the hope of new days.
The sunset and dawn; a person newborn
Where earth stops and heaven begins, you hover inbetween
That glow. Metal. Ice and Fire
Water, rainbows, and the local church choir;
You are the green grass that grows
The soft breeze that blows;
A smile and a teardrop all rolled into one
A piercing kiss that bruises my lips
A once in a lifetime solar eclipse;
Aches on foggy nights, afternoon delights
The diamond dew in the mornings
The sparkle of the snow, the fire burning
The scars of despair; My daily nightmare
A beautiful creature, serene and calm
A raging storm; A dance to perform.
You are my world, my universe, my muse
My choosing, my dream, inside my bloodstream
A rainbow, a flower; Mine and peoples laughter
A bird song, a poem, a photo, and a memory
A perfumed garden, whispering wonderment as beauty unfolds
Sweetly singing melodies bouncing merrily through the breeze
So rest your head in your hopeful peaceful slumber
And rest assured you are all and everything in my world.
Still.
