Saying Goodbye

A connection abruptly severed 

Tears dripping in my heart

Yes I know that love 

Transcends all realities

That nothing is ever really lost

That the infirm

Regain their capacities

That you are free of your damaged body

I know that you are near

But I miss your presence

In this here and now

And who can I tell that to?


Who comforts the comforter?

I am so vastly grateful

To have known you

To have had the privilege

Of your confidences

To have been given

These months of shared

Togetherness and to have

Had the trust of your 

Fine mind and to have

Helped you discover

Spiritual pathways that 

Had eluded you before

To have given you the roadmap

That may now illuminate your way


You gave me 

That part of yourself

That I will hold dear always


I’ll search for

Dragonflies to bring

Me messages from you

Or whatever way

You choose to let me know

That your journey

To the Other Side

Brings you the tranquility

You longed for and

The acceptance that you craved

And that you are

 Finally filled

With the loving essence

Of those who 

Support you in spirit


I’ll soothe my 

Saddened heart by

Giving myself time

To grieve and 

Cry the tears

That well up inside

I’ll welcome those

Who offer me their solace

As I gently release

You and beckon you to soar

Beyond this earthly life.

Interesting writing about loss. Hope that it is just a topice and not a real loss. Keep writing. Sara
