Death Is Not Goodbye

Death is not goodbye your soul has just gone on ahead and waits there patiently for me ensuring death I will not dread Death is not the end so my dear until we meet again you went first to pave the way you left your love to ease my pain Death left me your essence when grief and tears begin to flow your aura like a gentle hug transports me to a calm plateau Death left me alone you were never coming home grief consumes my waking hours I live a life in monochrome Death takes me at last now tired and weak solace I seek I see you there before me as your fingers softly brush my cheek So as you gently take my hand and guide me through Death’s door the Angels grant divine salvation our souls entwined forevermore Written 2nd March 2019 1st PLACE! 14th June 2019 Contest Name Got a Darn NA Again Sponsor Lu Loo Contest: Dance of Death Sponsor: Chantelle Anne Cooke N/A Contest: Your Choice, any form, any theme Sponsor Brian Strand N/A
