Beloved and Familiar Heart

Beloved and familiar heart, the pain of loss, nay, just the thought of letting go, my mind does start to reel and toss, to plan and plot How cruel that, how very wicked the fairest souls, the truest love so random and unfairly picked to leave us for their place above My heart, my heart must surely break for your leaving and the hole it leaves no face, no heart, no soul may take your place, or comfort I that grieve I bargain, but all so fruitlessly to keep, nay, just embrace you longer but fate moves on relentlessly a force of which there is none stronger Beloved and familiar heart, I cannot halt those gentle wings that fly for you, your journey's start your destination's better things Beloved and familiar heart, my eyes, ere yearn to see your face some day, twill be my journey's start please wait for me, please save a place

Thank you so much, Pandita. I had been thinking a lot about a loved one who's reaching the end and, well it's so hard to contemplate the loss.
