Beyond Tomorrow

Thoughts drift through my mind,
as waves upon a mile-wide sandy shore.
They remind me of another time
when we walked that same shore
together, hand in hand, laughing
though you alone knew
how short the time
we would steal to be together.

In your gentle wisdom, you said to me:
"When you feel the essence of life
wanting to leave you;
When your losses,
like the coming of winter
seem to chill you to the bone,
stretch your mind beyond tomorrow,
and you will taste the warmth of my love:
let it comfort you, surround you
like this shore surrounds the sea."

the tiny pool, the mighty ocean."

across the land of dreams. In your heart, I'd always be.

grand and wise (as always)!

[it is always such a pleasure to read
anything from this fine author!]

Unfortunately, one part of this marvelous
poem really 'hits home' (kinda' "defines"
the point I have reached in 'life'):

"When you feel the essence of life
wanting to leave you;
When your losses,
like the coming of winter
seem to chill you to the bone..."

sustained applause!
