Our Beloved Jess

Sharp eyes dimmed ,a last spark of life Looking puzzle and questioning Into my soul went his silent plea, As if to say whats happening to me. Breathing laboured gasping for air Left this life alone and afraid Peace came after breath had gone No more to hear mothers song. Leaving like ripping my heart in two, A hole exists that none can fill How long will this pain fill my soul Without us with him will he come home. Never again will he welcome us in, His prescence here yes perhaps it is, But no physical touch will we feel, Gone forever now into dust. Tears still form falling salt filled and bitter, Looking into his eyes forever frozen in mind Or at a picture on a card remembering his memory, Wishing for him back screams my broken heart. His beautiful form seen by few, Gentle as spring mountain dew, Suffered his pain without complaint, Now it is ours borne without taint. They say there is a better place where spirits dwell, Beyond the rainbows beguiling curve, Promising peace for eternities flow, Once gone where ever we go. Why is this pain inflicted on those left behind, A cruel joke delivered as truth appeasing our fear, All we see are constellations of sparkling light, Crushing our hopes and cursing our mind.
