She stood holding the back of the chair as his coffin was lowered into the hole she closed her eyes to the finality of losing a part of her soul. She felt his warm presence behind her and opened her eyes hoping to see his death was a hoax that someone created out of cruelty. Silently shedding tears of sorrow praying that she would be brave wondering how to go on without him as she stood here at his grave. The sun broke through the clouds and she felt his warmth inside felt his heart join hers as it beat and heard his laughter in her mind. She turned and gathered her children to her waiting motherly breast smiling, she told them their father was peacefully at rest. She walked away from the sadness seeking the future to find always feeling him in her his laughter in her mind. |

Beautiful, Poet deVine. I don't believe I read this in OP #1, but I'm glad I found it in this one. ------------------ Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |
