free of the flesh that
bound you
to this world of darkness and light
you live still in my memories.
I can still hear your voice,
your words ring true
after all of these years.
everything that you taught to me
is part of who I have become,
a piece of you is forever a piece of me.
the light that burned in
your eyes
sparked the fire behind mine.
the wisdom your silence
taught
echoes long within my thoughts,
sometimes silence shouts.
had I known that the last time we spoke
would be the last time I saw
you,
I would have said more.
someday I will come to lay next to you,
surrounded
by our family,
dressed in our sunday finery
to sleep forever under our flowery
sheets.
until that day,
you continue to live through me. |
