I Wept Today

To Sandy, my beloved sister..

I wept today, I have to admit I did

and felt my tears moisten my lips,

as they flowed and ebbed;

and I couldn’t turn them off.

I wept today and for days gone by.

 

I wept this week, like I’ve never done before.

for the memories and thoughts,

and cascading streams from

mountainous reserves.

I wept today at the reality of time.

 

I wept today at the pictures of  youth,

and thought of  life..and death.

I wondered and wandered my soul,

as my tears turned to rain.

I wept for you and me as well.

 

I wept this month, and continue to weep

for the emptiness and void

your passing has left.

I grasp for a reason I know won’t appear

I wept today, again and again.

 

I wept for you and those you loved.

I wept like I’ve never wept before...

I wept and I wept ‘til my tears ran dry.

I wept today and I know for sure

I will weep tomorrow

and ever more.........

That stanza is heart wrenching! I believe that when we lose a loved one we weep like we've never wept before, they say it gets easier in passing and in some ways it does but the weeping never stops! Excellent poem!
