And now you are gone, in memory of Denice
Merry Christmas!
Christmas Rewind 2 – for those who are missing loved ones today, here is my May post rewind, in memory of all those we have loved and lost
Helen
xx
And now you are gone.
You didn’t mention your pain,
like always,
the gracious friend
not looking inwards,
just out to others
like a sunflower facing the sun.
And now you are gone.
My mind fills up
with so many memories,
like a photo album of our lives,
an instagram to your heart,
just as my eyes well up with tears
spilling over onto my cheeks.
And now you are gone.
We knew we would lose you
for such a long time,
yet I wanted to hold you,
smell you,
kiss your cheek before you went,
to say my goodbyes.
And now you are gone.
And I did not get that chance,
but you knew all these things
the last time we met,
you knew
and your hug at the door
said your goodbye,
it said, I am done now.
You wanted to slip away
without fuss,
without the centre stage,
just as always.
You were the stars in my sky
the shimmer of light
that falls across the table
in the afternoon sun,
the touch of a warm rug
nestled on my lap,
the bubbles as I sink
into a warm bath,
giggles in the corner
as we laughed and laughed,
my meditation and my angel,
like the arms of a sweet baby
wrapped around my neck,
the soft breeze
blowing on my face.
And now you are gone.
(for my darling friend Denice who passed away today after a battle of many years)
