Listen to poem:
out like a candle
in a gust of wind
there then not
gone
taken from me
replaced by a gaping silence
a faded memory
a heartache
throbbing
refusing to heal
i try to remember
the tone of your voice
of your laughter
barely audible
it’s there in the distance
out of reach
a million light years away
and i trapped on my side
alone in this realm
disconnected
i now rush to accomplish
all that i must
so i may join you
some day
in eternity
