Poem Title:
Poem
Echoes of laughter penetrate my reflections Reminding me of the loneliness that exists Amid shattered memories and lost dreams When I awakened to a family that was gone Lifted from the earth to walk along those Streets of heaven, where I will someday walk Feet beating out a dance of loving wisdoms Hailing those beloved people I’ve missed for these Many years of living on earth and witnessing Other families coming and going, alive and well Seeking the warmth that flickers with fires Of intimacy and inspiration, insight into faith Where secret visions soar, unheard and silent, Reaching through the pains and struggles To light up like diamonds in the darkest night Vibrations of hope puncture my whispering Musings, painting hues of sparkling desire Through my passionate spirit, my tender Feelings, flowing crimson through veins of Serenity and joy, yearnings for the day when I, too, will reach this place called heaven Where I will meet the One who has known Me all along, known my heart, soul and spirit Known the family that I miss so desperately And long for, with a hunger that threatens To consume my very soul with its ache for The small moments when I knew them best In the places that come back so easily, the Dinner table and the breakfast feasts of omelets That left us filled with more love for each other Than the nutrients of eggs and meat, sustenance Thriving floods of hope seasoning the meals And peppering of love awakening the heart To know that God himself graced our table With His kindness and compassion, His touch Moving us all to know the closeness of family With stirrings of faith in the Father leaving us Alive with the assurance that God will lift hearts Who have lost the small moments to death Leaving shadows of darkness threaded through The light that enriches the heart with pure love In the small moments… I find eternal peace
