One Last Sigh

I brushed the fabric black fields of heaven, ripping, a sliver of time flashed lightning and unveiled the universe speaking in one voice With numbing relief I softly run my fingers cross the firmament feeling moments ripple in tune with the song ringing in my bones I sing with agony and pain my only voice, I breathe in bubbles of pure white light but gasp with a tongue of hope conversing in unspoken history I can now carelessly stroll cutting a swath through sheer will, across memories rhymed to repeat I softly tread filling my spirit with the elation of joy and love In memory ... I look back at my footprints wondering at the million moments that will vanish on my last sigh magnetic I gravitate to eternity And now hands cross my face as a second counted milli’s, final gasps are heard in sleep moaning in tune with the ache Underneath tomorrow lays forever trilling for my return to the fold and collecting stars in my basket I make stardust as your eyes stroll My darlings, You cannot follow where I have to go I love you into forever it will always be so With the standing greys my spirit will shortly fly to rest to see the face of the most holy I will rest on a white doves breast I am tired, so tired, I unravel undone tumbling on forwards paper fibrils flutter I've now felt rapture in release, I am numb and broken in body falling forever into the night my eyes are always blurred as the dawn mourns its sight reaching out of the dark of the vale I will find my place in God’s Grace under relief an earthquake will shake I already miss your gorgeous face with a last sigh I am unlaced ...

I am amazed at how much positivity seeps out of one who has put up with such a lot! I have noticed this elsewhere, and always felt inspired by your never-give-up attitude. You deserve the best, Jayne! Hugs // paul
