THIS LOSS

How does one go on
When all seems so fragile
Somehow this loss
Rips a piece of my heart

Feeling your presence
Even though I cannot touch you
Somehow the soul knows
When your spirit is near
Kindness so often shown

In the despair of letting go
Forcing the cycle of life
It continues on no matter
If acknowledged or not

So elusive sleep seems to be
For memories of you and tears
Seem to me the constant companion
Yet your love of life keeps my faith
Moving forward and onto the next day

Living and connecting
Knowing that life is abundant
In grief & sorrow yet just as rich
In love, laughter & hope
For all is still wonderment

This dimension not allowed to touch
The next in our evolution
Until it is time we wait and learn all we can
While the lessons are still to be explored
Knowing that someday our full knowledge
Will be wholly restored
