There are memories in your dream Healing is impossible - virtually preparing yourself for death Thoughts that were denied yesterday became the defined and the undefined truth today High doses of morphine preparations, no pain Slides in and out in a sort of half-conscious state Where is the distinction between the real world and the inner thoughts Dear faces with tears equal bronze sculptures around the bed Time of departure the boat is ready ... she boards They are crying now and saying she is gone "Gone" ? ... she doesn't understand on the other side of the lake family and friends welcomes her home with smiles and joy 18.01.2023 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Poem of the Day : 19.01.2023

There's an ethereal sadness lingering on the winds after reading this. A profound effect for a sad poem; well done.

Beautifully said! "Time of departure the boat is ready ... she boards They are crying now and saying she is gone "Gone" ? ... she doesn't understand on the other side of the lake family and friends welcomes her home with smiles and joy" I like to think that you are right...but not in a hurry to find out. Thank you, Sunshine. Great introspective read.

There is always a bitter sweet moment when those we love cross over Sunshine, but in the end the greatest act of love I'm told, is in letting go. For selfish reasons we'd love for them to stay and not leave a hole in our hearts, but, they sometimes get so enraptured on the other side, they stay, love and light prayers of hope xo congrats on potd
