Particles

Particles borne
from the entropic; the eventual.
The inevitable death
brings life.

Annihilation is not death,
death rides a continuum.
A wave always knows it is the water,
it rises and then ceases; continuation.

The loss of life can be 
such pain, such tragedy.
But it does not have to be,
If one thinks of energy.

Particles
pieces of you, whom I love.
I can't call a particle when I miss you.
Shall we ever meet again?

Particles
Pieces of me, you took with you.
When you left too soon.
My father, my friend.

Lover,
I feel you deeply within my heart.
My particles of life stream out of me
And rage against the dying of the light.

I shall never leave your side 
until the end of my life.
We can share our grief and joy,
As husband and wife.

Particles.
Bound by growth, death, love and pain.
Bound by truth, never to falter again.

For Jesse.
