Loss

You never know

how to deal with a loss,

from the moment you lose.

The only thing we’ll know,

is pain, anguish, and sorrow

of knowing

that the person won’t be here

tomorrow.

We grieve, mourn and weep,

we try to unravel

every memory out of the deep

corners of our soul.

We stop believing

and keep bereaving.

His voice echoes infinitely,

his light shines brightly.

The life, as we knew it,

is no more around us.

The mirror broke, yet it spoke

a million words.

He stays on the other side now,

reflecting on our lives.

He has not passed away,

but has passed on

his life, his light,

his learning and wisdom

in a new vessel.

The vessel crawls, shrieks,

giggles, falls.

We fall apart,

and we fall in love

with the new life.

yet, the loss

is never forgotten.

We cannot stop

the teardrops.

We cannot disband

the emotional bond.

We can, however,

love him forever

for all he did, all he was,

and all he has left behind.

A loving heart,

and a spirited mind.
