Even we cannot be close to touch and express love
Through a caring look
A smile
Or a soft touch
Please know there is not a moment
You are absent from my heart
As I held the phone yesterday knowing you could not speak
I felt so helpless
So many reminders of my other sister
Born today
Gone away now to that spiritual land
I wish my darling I could hold your hand right now
And comfort you
There was never a thing I would not do
To help you
But now with this crazy state of things
All I can do is hold this love
Along with prayers of healing and freedom
Close inside my heart
This same heart aches for what they have put
Your body
Your mind
Your soul and spirit through
At times all of this pain and worry
Makes me lose the power of words
Then all I can do is cherish the idea
That somewhere deep within your soul is free
Even as your body fails you
I wish with all my heart it could be different
But if I let this despair rob this present day and moment
Of joy
I too will lose my life
And so it is I will continue to hold your heart and soul
Inside my mind
In an attitude of grace forgiveness and love
For you are flesh of my flesh
Kin of my kin
And as long as I live
My love for you
Will always go on beating here
Deep within
My heart
Emerging From The Dark Night
