Without a Word

You wandered in the still of night,
                     slipping quietly through a sacred light.

                        No more burdens or pain to bear,
                     free at last, from sorrow and despair.

             You live amongst the sun, the moon, and stars;
                   I feel your tender touch, even from afar.

My friend, a truly wonderful and uplifting piece to have read. Yes, in the Heavens in the stars those we have lost are. And watching us from afar! A fav-a beautiful gift given this too often sad and dark world in magnificent verse. God bless.
