Pensive|

Beyond the shores of thought and reason, The seas of emotion suddenly swell Tempest clouds roar without season, Growing the gloom with every decibel I shrink with grief and crouch in despair, Fighting tears with each rasping breath What would you say if you were here, If you could forsake the veil of death How do I know if you are in a better place, That there you no longer feel any pain, That you watch over us from across the space, That you have found your place in God's domain Did the old familiar voices of wise ancestors Welcome you back with warmth and love? Beyond the bondage of all wordly matters Have you found your freedom in heavens above? Memories, they meet me in silence only to remind Time, the eater of worlds now consumes my peace Love, what you took along and what you left behind, Now holds us together and comforts like a breeze Life will go on with this burden to bear, My heart will heal but will it be the same? I harbor happy memories of all that we shared, Your words in my thoughts and pictures in frames All the legends and tales of the other side, Oh, how I wish now for them to be true! I pray and surmise what I once denied, For someday again I will get to see you In a place somewhere that is off the map Where I can choose to be a child once more, Feeling cheerful and safe, sitting on your lap Innocent and happy, contented forevermore #review#poetry#garuda
