Can you see the blood of dreams
although they leave so small a trace
hidden within the tracks of tears
that have dried upon my face

Did you hear their silent screams
when they departed from their place
to go beyond Ethereal Seas
and far from the Mortal race

Do you feel their absence keen
since they met with a mortal's fate
knowing they'll never again be seen
on this side of Heaven's gate

How is it for those we grieve
ever since they have passed away
and is it the way we believe
when we put our trust in faith

I only hope my destiny
will have us meeting once again
then for all eternity
together we may remain.

Jason Daniels
(I began this poem a long time ago, not really sure what I wanted to say, but thinking of all the dreams we've had that had simply passed away. How some dreams died before they'd been tried and some that went with friends, still others died along the way, never quite reaching their end. But, after my Grandma died on  April 20, 2001, it took on a much deeper meaning for me. Grandma's passing left another hole within me. A place where some of my dreams had been, and it reminded me that I also miss my best friend of my youth, Philip Lee Roland, who died in an automobile accident in 1993.
So, between losing my Grandma and my best friend, the Blood of Dreams became what it is now.)

One feels that you have worked hard
through this, your loss, but that in
the grief of the passing, you have
gone to the next level of understanding...

well done, Sir.

*sigh* temporarily without internet access over here, Jason. Its good to see you here, and good to read you again. You're writing well as usual. I can't wait to see you start to grow again.
