Passed Away

Going from one phase of life to another A piece of a heart left to pass away here Love transformed from one entity to other Death leaves all harboring what we surely fear It hurts more than just pain from the suffering When the one who passed away goes departing All feel the enormous depression within Love carries on as the soul was sure taken Russell Sivey

This is true. Only the ones that are expirencing the passing of someone know what it feels. As time goes by - the pain is less. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla

Passing away of a love one is really a very difficult and painful time to experience my dear friend Russell; (my memory is still fresh on my dad's death) but, your splendid and awesome poem will enlighten one's heart as you've portrait it with hope and love that carry on. Stellar piece indeed my dear friend! I like it and thank you so much for sharing! Hope you're doing well. So much thanks also for your inspiring comments on my poems. More blessings and graces to you always! love and hugs, LG

Lovingly written piece on the soul who has passed from one phase to another. Sensitive writing as you always do,Russell.

This one is very expressive work..Death is not a topic that we want to talk about or write about but it is a fact of life..You have penned hope of the eternal..Enjoyed reading this afternoon..Thanks for stopping by..Your visit was uplifting..We have a saying here that a person was as high as a Georgia Pine..I am sure that you know what that means..Sara
