Grasping, Clinching, Holding, Easing, Releasing & Remembering

Snatching a glint

clinching the gossamer veil

held tight by the gulps of terror

 

 

I must release

the harshness is easing

slipping through grief's grip

 

 

The curtain raises

I gaze out at the new day

vision is found in releasing

I ease over cracks in reality

 

 

Yes, I see

I see bright through gloom

I see wings' soaring spirals

I see the mist rising

I see petals unfolding

I see children smiling

I see friends reaching out

I see embracing

I see birds chirping

I see Angels rising

Gossamer Wings Lifting

Love lifting me to new heights

I feel goodness' warm breath

I smell sweet, warm puppy breath

I am melding into shared puddles of love

sheer gooseflesh

 

 

I let go

letting go means moving out

moving out means finding a new way

finding a new way means searching

searching means exploring

exploring leads to new vistas

new vistas bring new life

 

 

Yesterday is past

remembering is good

good means longing for the past

longing is heathy in celebration

 

 

Celebrate the Loss

Place the alter high for all to see

Pay homage to those who have gone before

Be a faithful heir

Guard the faith, then

Champion the Faith 

 

 

May peace visit you

may peace grace you

may you find peace

may you become peaceful

 

Be whole,

again

I hope this will assist Az as she moves through the minefields of loss and grief. My offering is heart felt however crude it may be, it is me to you, Az!

    Absolutely beautiful write. I have not read such truly uplifting words in a very long time. I would challenge anyone considering your important and moving message to come away unchanged. Azlyn should be genuinely honored.

      Sorry for the delay in responding

      I appreciate your comments and I hope that the delay in responding is not interpreted as uncaring or unappreciative for that is far from the case.

      Sincerely,
