"Life Within Spirit"

 

I find myself lost...

Now consumed by the senses...

The eyes search for a place in time that is now passed...

Questions more than answers...

And a loss that is not fully understood

Memories cling to the embrace of existence...

For some are so sudden and ever so bittersweet...

Moments now frozen in time hold the emotions still

Tears flow...

They are how the heart speaks when the lips cannot explain how we feel

The change is known...

Everything is touched by loss...

The heaviness of an anchor weighs upon the being

Minds race within the fog of confusion

For a simple understanding that cannot be explained

We are this...

We are now this...

Desperate to reach out to a hand that you once held upon the path of life, is now out of grasp....

Feet seem to stumble

Grief wears like a heavy blanket...

Where has this life gone?

Because those that now remain here within the wake...

Keep running the list of "last times" for everything...

As love keeps the candle lit

A single flame that flickers in the darkness that follows at the tip of our heels

I feel you in the laughter echoed

I remember...

And whisper your name...

As I desperately hope to hear your voice once again

Through the rush of life and all its in-betweens

We hold this spirit in honour...

In remembrance...

And everlasting peace.
