Within the Clouds and Light

I bury your body underneath the dirt.
There you are lying below the lingering
Feelings of sadness, grief, and being hurt.
I am still always left grasping and fingering

This life that you gave me, but I know that
We will finally meet again when the darkness
Stops glowing or when the word is not flat.
Someday we will both be bathed in starkness

Of the light and the freedom we have wanted.
Someday, I know our bodies will be closer to
The sky. It is your smile that has haunted
Me when I close my eyes to sleep as if you

Were still close enough to touch and feel
With my eyes open. I am recollecting
Every moment that I would want to steal
A glance because I want to be correcting

My wrongs and tell you how much I love
You. I want to remember your delicacy
Like a blooming flower and like a dove.
Memories should not come with hesitancy.
