I Go

This moment expands,
stretching out beyond my knowing.
Hands hold my head as
tears touch me.
I comfort you in your grief,
smile gently to ease your loss,
and do not speak of the pain that
rends us.

Alone now, the cool breeze
lifts me and I go.
I do not cast my mind back to
what was, nor ahead to what
could be.

This moment expands,
stretching out beyond my knowing.
