Along the steep climbs
And the deep falls
Within us something stirs
A knowing-we will be alright
A glimmer of hope
We hang on or rise from
That edge, that cave
To become More
More of what we could be
More than our illusory dreams
In the season of Ripening
Time stands in Applause
For our Resilience,
This, I believe.
Each, a speck
In infinite space
Twinkling at the other
From a Distance
In rare moments
We touch each other
Giving myself to you
Receiving you unto me
Completely transformed
Basking in a Glow
We stand Before the other
Time, silently bows
Seeing our Truth
This, I believe.
The Old one smiles
Ready to leave
Words suspended in silence
Love envelopes beloved
A faint knowing remains
In those left behind
We hold the old one
In our eyes, our soul
Now and forever
They speak through us
In our hopeless moments
Time, flows in timelessness
For our eternal spirit
This, I believe.

I love this! How amazing the feeling for the loved one by the ones left behind.
A beautiful, and intelligent, way of saying "Life goes on." We are all so important to this world because of what we leave behind when we do go. But, life does go on for those we do leave behind. AMAZING write!
Thanks for the visit to my page.
They speak through us in our hopeless moments... I so believe they do.
