You brought me from
My place of darkness,
Amidst my place of confusion.

Now that I'm strong and
Doing well, I can feel
A breeze as your wings
Begin to flutter.

I see that our season
Is receding,
But the words are too
Painful to utter.

I that know our season
Will soon be gone.
I know that you won't be long.

Long is the length of
The wisdom you gave.
These are the things
That I will cherish and save.

It wasn't that I did
Anything wrong,
But the breeze from your wings,
Tells me that you won't be long.

I will turn...and you will be gone.

Observe the animals and they shall teach you the nature of life in man. Observe the earth and it shall reveal the nature of life in God.

This touched me. I truly loved it. The last line was great.

Perhaps your gardian angel who, now that you are strong again, moves on to help other souls in pain?

Beautiful written

A time for all seasons.  Write on.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

Sometimes we just know in our hearts something is over, and we have to move on.
Well said
