You are Gone from me

You are gone from me
To lie in sands that edge a frozen sea
In a far and distant land

I must stay and grieve alone
Sharing bitter silence with your stone
Dying flowers in a shaking hand

I must leave you and journey on
My life continues ,though yours is gone
We are parted,forgive and understand

My journey will not be far or long
And soon will lie where I belong
Beneath those distant sands

And all will end as it must
Our hearts and bodies turned to dust
Joined again in that distant land

It is nice here
The frozen sea sparkling like fire
And the clouds are white
There is silence
There is only God and you
There is a rock
And you
The soul of my dreams

Arthur, although this is achingly sad, it is as though the person in this piece has accepted the death of their beloved, knowing the will be together again one day.  This has a calming, peaceful effect, in a way, on the reader.  
Very well done!

Beautiful work, arthur. I always treasure what you have to say. Mournful and yet, not defeated.

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun.
