Tears In Your Eyes

A vision of mine, your soul aloft gliding amidst the soft breeze Adorned in a white lace gown, the one you only dreamed to wear Hair so thick gracefully draped around you flowing to your knees Fashioned to an elegant chic style before you would never dare. Loving freely with a genuinely happy smile upon your beautiful face No longer being shunned by any regardless of what you feel or share Enjoying the peace and serenity with freedom at your own pace Your ravaged heart and devastation restored beyond compare. No more are you inadequate, suppressed is your imagined self defeat Equality now a reality since your once selfish identity is non-essential Diminished afflictions of pain and struggle now with vigor you retreat Within the heavenly archives of calming solace becoming divinely angelical. In some unexplained fashion your remorse for any earthly regrets Amazingly dissipated as your eminent departure had silently crept As my mother with tears in your eyes and no precluding judgments Gently whispered, ”I love you” weeks before slipping away as you slept.
