My grandad passed await yesterday, so i thought i'd clear my thoughts and write a poem.

We saw nor death till death arise,
And minutes in a moment fail-
but absent, as the hour longs
to hold the breathing of a man,
Oft I remember those that passed before-
as by a magnet, those whom are not dead
gather in the restless space for comfort.

And in other days to which the heart shall miss,
Memories of a past shall be brought forth-
as the darkened room remains
he shall sit in silence with me again,
We’d watch those wartime films-
and now I’d watch alone
Oft I remember those that passed before and now,
In the world we cannot see;
they await for the gathering of a family.

Strong poetry here, well though out and arranged imo.

You have grasped what I admire in poetry...the connection of the solid/physical world and the "world we cannot see"

Good job on a hard subject..

I am sorry for your loss, but your words
give rise to a future we can only pass on to,
willingly.
