Poem Title:
Poem
In a voice both gentle and wise He whispered hope through my life Revealing a love that could surprise With its tenderness and light, Always lifting my heart from the dark Raining sparks of wonder across my nights Filling my soul with sunshine, My heart with laughter Kindness that would remind me there Is music, there is passion There is a stirring inside that never Subsides, a feeling that inspires My heart to breathe in flames of joy Burning away all the doubt Leaving me with a silent prayer For the light to always be with me, Glistening like starlight, lifting me up Gentling my life – dancing, Like a summer sun, swaying With beautiful, graceful, embracing Hugs, warm and enduring Freeing my dreams so I can believe He was like the light Falling across my life, silencing Every fear, hushing the tears Bringing hope from the shadows, Serenity that would escape The monotony of passivity, stillness To reflect the brilliance Publishing kisses, whispers Surrounded by faith, never forgetting The way light echoes wonder, Imitating the miracles – the beauty Sweltering in the summer, Then drifting with the leaves When autumn sends her breathless Death call over the heart, Coloring hope with the emotive voice Strong as the wind’s song Illuminating the spirit as leaves Fall through the memories, Fleeting – moving like the dreams Who believe the healing That comes from knowing love So alive with the giving He was a friend I know Gave more than he had to give, With a love that could only be said To bring hearts a beautiful That is like the snowflake, glistening Wishes, held too tightly – melting Beneath the warmth of a hug Wishes so intimate they quiet memories With promises for the future He reassured me with a kindness That wouldn’t melt away like the snow, A kindness that would continue To bring hope into the spirit, even When the light was hidden By a darkness so black it felt almost Like the despair of a dying hope, The divorce from a heart’s story – The story he told me every time he was close
