In the stillness As daylight breaks An angel takes to flight Unspoken emmotions Amongst the clouds As day turns into night As the moon comes nigh And the clouds turn dark We await the silent dawn A shattering sound From within our hearts As we remember John Lightning flashes Our lives all dim An impression left on our minds Of Johns sweet face Watching over us all Undoing the tie that binds In memory of John Sizemore < !signature--> Better to die, and sleep The never-waking sleep, than linger on And dare to live when the souls life is gone.

My heart caught in my throat as I read this. I have known the loss of a loved one - and you have penned the anguish so well. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. . The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G. |

This is a lovely way to remember your friend...I'm sure he is smiling down on you... I love the time and in between the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe... Sarah McLachlan |

This weave speaks softly to the heart and soul of your friend and sings of his life and the touch he had upon you....beautiful writing! You can swim in the waves of the weave...without sinking into the mind of the weaver~ |

I just wanted to say thank you to all who replied to my poem. It makes me smile, knowing that my friends name will live on in my writings. Thank you all. T Better to die, and sleep The never-waking sleep, than linger on And dare to live when the souls life is gone. |
