My heart burns
afire with the ache of loss
as my eyes flood with tears
memory’s salted waters
in this intimate moment
of your transition
your final breath expelled
now at last released
to the winds of time
it lifts to silent space
as do these whispers
of my goodbye
the quiet earth
awaits peacefully
to receive your ashes
into its eternal embrace
your spirit freed to travel
to enjoin the infinite universe
farewell my friend
may your precious life energy
burst into a beautiful everlasting light
dazzling across time and space
as your physical journey
on the elemental wheel
is now complete
you’ve ascended
this temporal plane
~ may ever you evolve ~

I am sorry for your loss. A very poignant and thoughtful poem
Thank you Marja… 🙂
So many loved ones are leaving now, as we all get older, and grief becomes a recurrent part of life. To be able to write poetry for them is not only a gift to them but also for oneself. I love your envisioning and prayer here.
Those most meaningful ones that have traveled on from my life now outnumber those that remain. Thank you Rosemary… 🙂
Heartfelt words – they couldn’t fail to make readers empathise with their truths. 🙂
Thank you Jinksy… 🙂
