As I lie amongst wildflowers beneath the butterfly weeds, you pondered, through my mind as you often do, delicately fragile essence bursting free eccentric, dazzling colours deteriorating, slight physique ~ weakening petals withered mournful harps serenade, sensing your soul has departed in sorrow, I feel your peace as I lie amongst wildflowers, beneath the butterfly weeds you pondered through my heart as you often do. A tribute to Emmalene Benson forever beautiful.

It is a powerful thing, and a huge privilege to read at a loved one's funeral. I did when my mum passed. A strange parting gift of love. This is beautiful.

Thank you. This was written for my best friend that passed away last December. I wrote it before she died, when I knew she wasn't going to get better. I read it at her funeral. It's incredibly special and came straight from the heart. One of those special poems that just flowed and wrote itself.

Thank you. I wrote this poem as a tribute to my best friend she died a few weeks before her 41st birthday. It came straight from the heart. I'm happy with how it turned out.
