First Eternity

The destination is announced...

...I feel his embrace, 
but he does not hold me,
he is there to be held,
there

is

no

support,


no counsel,
and no consolation.


This journey is his,
and his alone.

His hold weakens,
his embrace is fragile,

and futile.

 

His footsteps grow distant...

...all that he ever was floods through me...

...and my heart beats

because 

his 

is 

no 

more.
