We lit a candle today,
To fill the empty place
where you should be
but arent....
I stood with my hands cupping the flame
and felt the heat....
the energy......
Empty space between the fire and flesh
Nothing visible
Nothing to see...
And yet I knew it was there-
the energy touched my skin.
And so it was with you today.
Nothing visible-nothing to see.
And yet I knew you were here.
Your energy touched my heart.
You came into our lives,
grabbed pieces of our hearts,
and then left with them still clutched in your fist.
No time for goodbyes,
no knowledge of your destination.
I think that maybe that is the way you wanted it...
Just "Bye, see ya later, I love you"
Instead of racking, screaming sorrow....that would have been.
(Your tolerance for tears was never great...)
I wonder if maybe WE planned it this way...before....
To have this life
...this loss
...at this time
so that we would have this stabbing pain-
to know the joy of love...
to have this gut wrenching jolt of death-
to know the wonder of life.
Perhaps you only came to us, with us,
so that we would see what we have
instead of thinking that all we have is what we see.
Perhaps your purpose
was only to lift the veil
and force us to look at the light.
