A wind sways the grass
I...
can almost hear you speak
I barely breathe
A soft whisper
Your remnants,
mingle with the air, the earth, the water
Broken, charred memories of you
...but your gratitude is shown
for the storm calms,
and smiles crease tense faces
You would have wanted joy at your final passing
Your haven
The waves,
a long sweep of golden sand
You
I bid my last farewell
Your ashes drift in the breeze
may you live on in all that is
I hope I may yet learn,
what death conceals,
so if my time ever comes
I could be ready, content
Perhaps I will let myself love,
you may help my break down these walls,
to hide my true light
I imagine your laugh beside me,
a quiet thanks
...or are you there?
I feel warm, comforted
in the sharp air
Farewell

I helped to scatter my grandad's ashes in Cornwall this weekend...it was sad, but I think he wanted it

Didn't sound rushed at all, avatar. It's hard to let a loved one go, and I'm very happy that you're able to let go like you did. My uncle Scott could've died a few days ago, and I don't think I could've let go of him... I'm that kind of selfish person, I guess. Once again, wicked write (sorry, wicked is a cool word
).

I liked this poem. I felt a lot of emotion coming from it. And I love peoms that have emotion. When I read it I got really sad. But don't take that the wrong way. Because I think a great poem can make someone just feel. So if I feel sad after reading this. THat's a great thing. It shows you have a talent for expr3essing yourself and making other people feel how you feel...great write Keep it up!
