Life...
In the past I hear your voice,
I see your face in the future.
Your eyes pierce through this darkness,
Your touch is strange but warming.
Clouds consume our bodies.
Then no sound is heard
And your face grows cold and lifeless.
These hands seem unfamiliar and
My face feels old, covered with wrinkles.
As the clouds dissipate,
I grasp hold of your lifeless hand.
Tears flow from my aged eyes.
As I try to remember times long before.
Time before your love,
Times before you came into my life so
That I can remember how I was
Before you became mine and what
I did to deserve you.
As I try, my mind becomes blank and
I am unable to think of my life
Before you stepped into my heart and soul.
I stare into your hopeful eyes and
Realize that before you I had
A life not worth remembering.
Before you came, my life was empty.
You were my life and all memories are of your
Smile, laugh, touch, smell, and everything
You have said and done for me.
Now you’re gone and all I have is memories of you,
Sweet, un-spoiled memories of happiness.
As I lie in this cold bed and
Think of how you made this bed warm and inviting.
My life is just over,
Your memories haunt my mind by reminding
Me of how life can’t go on
If I can’t feel your warming touch.
I close my eyes and sleep in this cold bed.
From the darkness, there shines a bright light
And all I see is you standing there
Waving to me and calling my name.
I hold out my hand,
Call to you and then notice
That my hands hold no wrinkles
And your face is vibrant and
Youthful, glowing with amazing beauty.
Your brown eyes glitter from the light.
Your brown hair glistens and waves.
I glance back and notice my aged body lying in that cold bed.
I cry out your name and run towards you with great haste.
The intense light blinds my eyes but I continue to run.
When I reach you I embrace your gorgeous body and
Say, forever will last an eternity.
I love you….
