I see you tangibly close beside me
laughter still within you
a smile on your face
do you still see me here & now
or a trace of a girl dancing
brevity of memories hinting at life
shared with children…with her
do you know she is gone traveling
with the moon & stars in heaven
I see you tangibly close beside me
laughter still within you
a smile on your face
do you know your time has shifted
as the sands within the tides
ensnaring the memories you captured
now scattered fragments of light
still your eyes embrace her once more
a cherished resemblance of me
wisps of years gone encircling you
briefly in moments & then vanishing
I see you tangibly close beside me
laughter still within you
a smile on your face
the embers are still glowing brightly
not ready to engage in dying
I know your spirit still resides within
I know there still is you smiling
