so many long years gone
his love that took my life by storm,
caressed my heart, soothed my tears
kindly understood my fears,

alas, he's still so dear to me
his spirit spends most days with me,
now body rests in urn of stone
i live my life as one alone,

on a shelf within my room
sleeping silence quiet gloom,
for he'd walked on earth with me
love for each other was deep,

no slumber now in dreamless night
for his spirit's long taken flight,
yet words come to my beating heart
in death still he'll not depart,

as when he died i called in vain
don't leave me in this endless pain,
and stared into the sunless daze
with cold face and icy stare,

i know that where his ashes sleep
my soul too's been buried deep,
now he dwells above the rainbows
will not be soon enough that i too, go.

Nessa, take heart in your beautiful children, your home upon the mountain which sounds so inviting and filled with love ... and your friends who are always here to lend a shoulder ... life can be cruel and take loved ones from us, but hang in there ... you are loved by many ... hugs Jan

A sad..sad thing it is when we lose one that we love to mortality's jaws. I felt an echo in your words to when my father passed away...but perhaps an echo more so of my mother's feelings at the time....but..all in all a truly haunting contrivances that tugs at the very soul...I would presume to say that this a nicely contrived piece of work.

nessa
your words remind us all of how fragile life is. i can't imagine what it is to suffer such a loss. your words run deep with sorrow.

i'm glad we are friends and we have each other to talk to.

hugs

I so admire your open writes and your determination to endure. Never mind how beautiful you pen your pain.


Keep up your inspirational writes, Nessa.
