Like water from the willow Weeping as it may seem The floods that drenched and drowned the pillow The one use to dream If sadness is the end of pain To quell and hide the fear To wash from you and let it go This fear that’s made you tear If all you can do is think the unthinkable And of things you can’t believe Then run like wind on sandy dunes And forget the ones you leave You spent eternity on this quest To dry your sorrows in the drought This thirsty land of empty hands With nothing to give out You must go on and reach the unreachable And gain the life that you once knew Death is only the beginning As you must start your life anew |

Hello Gavin, and you echoed what I have always felt here...that death is not the end. These words you wrote are full of hope, not sadness, and I appreciate these thoughts so much!! It's well-thought out, and enjoyed reading you today...~S~ Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |

This is my first time in the poetry forum- and as I am a firm believer in fate, I think that I was meant to see this poem. Just reading it has made me feel able to cope with the recent loss of a loved one. Thanks for these words of strength. |
