Amid the Jagged Shadows

NOVEMBER 26, 2019

"Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs; " 

                                           Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs
All I see is the image you left behind in the wind that blows
I’m sorry I didn’t notice the change in your smile or how your eyes grew dim
But I know I was in denial because the thought of losing you was so grim
I can hear angels sing and bells ring all around for you
And as the music resounds, I feel empty and blue
I miss your touch like being in my mother’s arms when she would gently sway
And memories of your laughter are like a cool breeze on a hot summer’s day
When I close my eyes and travel back in time, my loss is somehow not real
And for that to be true, and for a moment with you, I tell the devil I will make him a deal 
For I have nothing to lose -- I am like a lost soul in search of her home 
But without you as my shining beacon all I can do is endlessly roam 
As I bend down to place a rose, I can only think of when we will meet again
And as a tear rolls down my face, I feel nothing for the world but disdain
Then I hear someone say you are in a better place, and for that I should have gratitude 
But at this time those words to me are nothing more then an empty platitude
For I miss you my dear friend
As I feel like my world is coming to an end
