Poem
  “Grief is like the ocean. The waves ebb and flow. Sometimes the water is calm. Other times it's turbulent. In order to survive, I had to learn to swim. In moments when I struggled with massive waves of grief, I rode it out.” 
Dana Arcuri  

When the pearl moon is sinking 
and the sea dreams in silence,  
when the skies reflect 
  the sunrise within sighs,  
I close my eyes and unlock 
  my grieving heart.  
There, your sincere smile glows
  like a string of golden pearls,  
and your song, an echoing melody,  
while jasmine rain croons 
into the mourning mists.  
And I whisper to the stars:
 show me what it's like in heaven,  
where angels and fairies 
sway to your vanilla laughter,  
for I am still healing from 
the shadows of your demise.

I remember, 
I was a teenage tempest 
dressed in crusts of raven,  
but you saw 
unicorns and butterflies
soaring above 
whirling waves of angst.  
and wove my darkness 
with acrylic glitter. 
You were the antidote 
  to my bleeding ink.  
you were the sakura spring
 among my tattered twigs,  
you watched me laugh 
into the gothic duskiness.

Somehow seeking fireflies 
within my summer maze,
did illuminate your weathered time, 
like rainbow roses, 
engrossed in emerald empathy.
You always knew the 
right phrase to rhyme,  
subtle syllables to 
write every wrong.  
You were my comfort 
on lonely days.
The uncle, I cherish, 
so young and charismatic…

Orchids in your 
orchard still sprout~
flaunting their colors 
in your mauve memory,   
and your seraphic aura lingers  
as the magnetic essence
      of eternal warmth.  
Now I am draped in 
  mementos and euphonious wind-chimes,
emanating the fragrance 
   of evergreen grass and soulful sunflowers. 
Someday, I will find my way
     to your empyrean home, 
        where you reside in poetry and affection…
