Time Reveler
Constantly rebounding between this and that time
Until, one day, our realities align
For all of the time I spend in the past
Replaying your last,
moments
You would think I were a time traveler,
A time reveler
One whose reflection provides the comfort you can no longer supply
Absent, not of your own choice
But through your call to rejoice,
in Heaven
Finally, your weary soul found rest
It seems, life was through putting your spirit to the test
Constantly rebounding between this and that time
Until, one day, our realities align
In the midst of a calm moment in my mind
I flash back to when your hands could still hold mine
Back to the moment I woke from my temporary rest
To learn you had taken your final breath
Back to the moment when I had to make peace with a new reality
A reality in which I knew,
that it was not you
Lying there the last time we met
But a mere piece of your being
Whose memory I hope to never forget
Constantly rebounding between this and that time
Until, one day, our realities align
Until, one day, our realities align
For all of the time I spend in the past
Replaying your last,
moments

One whose reflection provides the comfort you can no longer supply
Absent, not of your own choice
But through your call to rejoice,
in Heaven
Finally, your weary soul found rest
It seems, life was through putting your spirit to the test
Constantly rebounding between this and that time
Until, one day, our realities align
In the midst of a calm moment in my mind
I flash back to when your hands could still hold mine
Back to the moment I woke from my temporary rest
To learn you had taken your final breath
Back to the moment when I had to make peace with a new reality
A reality in which I knew,
that it was not you
Lying there the last time we met
But a mere piece of your being
Whose memory I hope to never forget
Constantly rebounding between this and that time
Until, one day, our realities align

All The Best Moments Are Sometimes Shared WIth Grandmas
Those of us who have never been to the other side are sometimes told that the soul moves from the physical to the spiritual
She looks down upon you with all the other angels
Whether that belief is true or not but somehow knowing that eternity exists can be comforting
Blessed Be Thy Name
“I pass and I stay, like the Universe.”
― Alberto Caeiro, The Keeper of Sheep
“Sit here, so I may write you into a poem and make you eternal.”
― Kamand Kojouri

Thank you for that. It means a lot. And, I definitely do still feel her presence around me. I just try to keep her memory alive the best I can.

I love this, especially the refrain. Until, one day, our realities align. We might meet again. Who knows? The physical body is such a small part of who we are, and there are dimensions we don't even know about yet. Tenderly written.

This is a very beautiful and heartfelt poem. Not to overly-expressive and filled with the love you felt. Wonderful job!
