Ashes of Grief
“Grief is just love with no place to go”
quote from: Jaime Andersen
Here
Among
The Ashes
A pewter urn
Holds sweet memories.
Softly a candle glows,
I can feel your gentle touch,
Through the darkness, your eyes smiling.
For a moment, you are beside me,
Yearning for one more day of your embraces.
~~~
“Grief”, I’ve heard, “Is love with no place to go”
It leaves a deep hollow in the heart;
Sacred now, are the memories
That soften the ache of loss.
Reeling, lost in images,
Quiet nights of dreams,
Until the dawn,
Casts her light
On life
Death
