Farewell Unsaid

I waited in the twilight's gentle glow  
besides Soul I stand waiting for words  
that he had woken from his slumber  
his fate held in dream's tender hand.  
 
whispers of prayers and love unspoken  
I embraced a fanciful thought  
that we had moments shared  
our union was in Maya  
holding on to strings of love  
forged by togetherness on face-time  
by our spirits that none understood  
in our world created by words  
 
underground strings of poems were written  
like drumbeats of hearts shouting for him  
to wake up wake up conquer pain  
he refused to wake, his sight grew dim  
 
as fate met him in a dance of death  
the drum rolled once more  
free to fly he took the chance  
his soul rode on with the destiny  
where no pain nor sorrow remained  
no words of goodbye no grand farewell  
he slept on and silently went away  
the chain of poems gently fell like confetti  
 
No famous last words  
nor drama  
just faded away  
 
leaving pieces of hearts strewn on the  
field of hope.

Author's Note
Soul never said goodbye when he was really sick. He actually texted he was drifting in and out and would answer when he could. That was his last word to me. at least. My father never said goodbye too, he told my eldest sister to bring his good shoes for him to wear when he get discharged from hospital. My mother asked my brother to cut the grass outside her house when she was sent to the hospital. Both passed away in the hospital, although my mother outlived my father by many years.
