Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Blank verse

- Death Came Like a Storm -

As an everlasting journey
        among philosophers
        we lived in our love dream world

        You had everything
        Insight and understanding
        For something big
        greater than humanity

        I needed you so badly
        Wind calm days
        Avoid the storm
        came to me

        The truth is somewhere
        The moment you died in my arms
        No one knows why
        But I know that death took you

        Like in stormy moments
        My scream was strangled
        Give me a quiet minute
        a minute that is not stormy

        My tears are wiped away
        The storm is calm
        ... I have learned
        Life is so fragile

        I see the future of hope
        Life without you
        Living in the hope that
        even were present with me

        I will never forget you
        Sometime in the future
        .... meet you again
        You are standing there at the gate

        Old wounds will heal with time
        Hope and life recurs
        With a kiss I say goodbye
