"To Let You Go"

Even though I know you're gone, I see you in my dreams
You walk with me so casually; you're with me still it seems
And in my restless slumbering I know you're truly gone
Though in my heart I wonder if I've kept you here too long

I wonder if you're wandering or wishing I'd let go
So you could rest forever in a peace I'll never know
Or just perhaps you're watching from some paradise on high
To guide me and protect me until I can say goodbye

This poem reminds me of just how agonizing the not knowing is. I wrestle with it all the time and you wrote that feeling well.

I can identify with this feeling so well, having lost someone so dear to me. This is very eloquent and moving.

This is a keeper. I think there are some that we can never really let go. We keep them tucked in our memories and love them forever.

Merry Christmas.

I read this yesterday and could not find words. A soft and powerful work. starts and finishes strong. Reminding me again none of use are alone.
