Until We Meet Again....

On my mind day and night Don't think I ever healed quite right Images still vivid and clear Still see pictures, voices I hear Gone so soon, happened so fast Now I'm left here as part of your past Couldn't believe it myself, still relive the day That my dear loved one passed away. I knew before they told us...felt something inside Then I looked at the doctor, saw something in his eyes The tears rolled down so swift and steady All I kept thinking was "Oh God, I'm not ready." Weak at the knees, unable to swalllow Hearing the explanation but unable to follow Looking at my family all around I was the only one not making a sound I opened my mouth to speak but there was no voice I was left there gaping- and not by choice It felt like I had been ripped apart It felt like I was missing a piece of my heart Then I reminded myself that it was God's will Once he calls you home you gotta go...that's the deal I prayed about it then got myself together Pretty soon after I felt a little better As expected, time did help heal But there isn't a day that goes by that I don't feel.... Your presence, your spirit, your sweet memory All these things are still alive in me Locked safe inside my heart and protected best I can... Because this is what holds me together....Until We Meet Again...

Beautiful, stirring poem! Sad that our loved ones must go when called home by the Lord, but the best part is that we know they are happy there!

Dearnew poet friend you have been assigned the next Phrase in the list which is "Queer as Clockwork Orange"...this was a movie & a bizarre one at that BUT you do not have to refer to the movie...you just have to use these words SOMEWHERE in your verse good luck! Light & Love

Dear Sierra your form is Couplet, It can not be in my contest because I did not assign you the Cath Phrase. It is a wonderful poem in excellent form and I am giving it the highest rating of 7. If you'd like a Catch Phrase please contact me under one of my poems or by Soup mail..and please withdraw this beauty which would have ranked in the top 5 IF "Until We Meet Again" had been your assignment...sigh.
