“In this solemn void
Grief ignites
burning with your quiet song,
A tender memory
that lights the night
as my heart beats on.
And I laid you down
in a pool of petals
filled with mercy
and gratitude,
Burned your effigy
on the pyre of
Soulful whispers.
The chatter of this mind
now still- submerged
beneath the tides
of wild rain,
Birthing acceptance
and serenity.
And even when
these tears are shorn
it will not feel enough
for all the sweetness,
all the laughter,
Every “I love you”
and tail shimmy,
Every “baby bird”
and lighthearted shriek.
You are my seeing eye
and compass,
My well of truth,
Always and forever
My Hara.”
