The Absence of Thee
Being whole
not in sight
since you wings
have taken flight
Trying to live
without you now
unsure of myself
knowing not how
Teardrops fall
on pages I write
remembering you
every bit of your light
A strength in you
all my life
my heart bleeds
as if cut by a knife
I am changed
by the loss
stagnant stone
growing moss
not the same
nor should I be
suffering in
the absence of thee
not in sight
since you wings
have taken flight
Trying to live
without you now
unsure of myself
knowing not how
Teardrops fall
on pages I write
remembering you
every bit of your light
A strength in you
all my life
my heart bleeds
as if cut by a knife
I am changed
by the loss
stagnant stone
growing moss
not the same
nor should I be
suffering in
the absence of thee

Dear M,
The rhyming works so nicely as to give it a prayer like quality. Grief is a difficult subject on which to comment yet, you poignantly capture its devastating fall out..

Thank you H. Sadly, I have had many losses in my life but the loss of my mother stays with me every day. I appreciate the read and you taking the time to comment. Bless.
