You are gone now
But memories linger on
I recall how painful it was
Never to get the chance to say goodbye
And to have held so deep within my heart
Silent tears I never got to shed
Until all those years later
When your best friend died
I am grateful that then
His family enclosed me
Keeping me warm for a while
Underneath their wing
Afternoons
So easily remind me of you
How I waited for you to come home
But also feared being close to you
Never really knowing what to say
And how you took yourself away
Lost in your garden
Deep in private thoughts
I never got to share
How these ghosts linger
Passing on their affects
In ways we do not realise
Often until it is far too late
But never the less
I thank the afternoon now
For the memories
Yes you are gone from me
But sometimes I feel your spirit
Drawing close
Whispering messages of love
You didn’t get to share
With me
In the years before
You were taken
Far away from here
Oh this is so sad…… I feel for you….. Here’s a healing I wrote today…. maybe I’ll post it later on….. haven’t made up my mind yet……
Brave Hearts
I always remember
The last time I saw the sun
I always remember
The last time I saw you
Yesterday I remembered
The colours of your sky
Yesterday I remembered
The colour of your eyes
Today I remembered
The happiness in your smile
Today I remembered
The happiness of our every mile
Tomorrow I’ll remember
The final beat of your brave heart
Tomorrow I’ll remember
The silent beats of our lost charts
