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.
I
