Crying inside a hug,
We hold each other tightly.
Yesterday has left us
Without another loved one.
Soon the pain will wane,
Oh, but not completely.
Memories stay with us.
Time sifts the remains.
We have loved so deeply
Those that have passed on.
Behind there is a shadow
Of the spirit that lives on.
We still sense the power
Of their supernatural presence.
We still treasure time,
Lost in all the busyness.
Our grasp on them will loosen,
Leaving them to be free,
Without the bonds of the temporary,
Or the hurt of humanity.
They will no longer have to wait
For good to come their way.
The beauty of heaven and earth
Surrounds them every day.
And now upon reflection
We can see the beauty too.
We’re blessed with a revelation
And a peace is born anew.
