(a poem by my beautiful departed wife, Stephanie)
Sometimes I sit alone in the dark
Wanting somehow to unbreak my heart
And I feel so sad, I long for an end
So I close my eyes, and listen to the wind
It whispers softly in my ear
The words of comfort I long to hear
It sings to me in all my sorrow
And tells me there is hope for tomorrow
But sometimes I wake in the dead of night
Crying and shaking, so filled with fright
And I feel so afraid, I want it to end
So I close my eyes, and feel the wind
It gently blows across my face
The fear disappears without a trace
It touches me and takes away,
the painful thoughts of yesterday
And sometimes I break and come undone
Screaming for help, but there is no one
And I feel so hopeless, I look for an end
So I close my eyes, and wait for the wind
It holds me so close and carries me
out of captivity, it sets me free
And finally, I have reached the end
At last I am free,
I am the wind
Author notes
This poem was written by my dearest departed Stephanie
She had a terminal condition... which eventually took her from us
This expresses her fear of dying, all the pain before...
and the hope of something more...
she wrote this before we were married
I just feel the need to share something of her, in her own words...

The wind can hold peace or fear, howl or come slowly across us like a balm to mind. The resonance air moving across all on its way to somewhere unknown can seem to carry us along with it...freely and completely... I only hope that when I pass it is as the wind... a rage or a storm....but never afraid to face the place it will take me....
She wrote beautiful words Seas....

This is so sad but beautifully written. Death the unknown, I fear it myself. I could relate to that. She must have been beautiful, so sorry for your loss.

This is such a poignant piece of art Bill. Reading it now, knowing that Stephanie has passed over makes it moreso.

Perfection
Damn, that's deep, very powerful. The sorrow is intense! This piece is an amazing, unique, and vibrant write! To give it a 10E "weeeeeeeeee" would be the largest understatement of MrPink's life! Not only was the content emotional, the transitions and word usage were flawless. The brought up feelings I felt a while ago when A friend had been taken by cancer. Anywho, this was a great piece! -
Awesome
Awesome poem. Great form, great flow, great words. I found one mistake in it though. In the eighteenth stanza, you spelled no one, noone. You just forgot the space. Otherwise I absolutely loved this poem. You must have loved her very very much. Keep up the good work.
