Wind Chimes©

lost, death, mother, love

I feel lost without you,
I feel like nothing in this world is true.
This pain I’m left with, I’m scared it will take over,
You’re not here to guide me to keep me warm and covered.
How do I go on living knowing that you have died?
What I would give for you to see me or even hear my cries.
To hold your hand while I cry in your lap,
If there was a way to get to heaven all I would need is a map.
I would walk till my feet turned bloody and raw,
Till my body ached and my limbs went sore.
For there could never be a love stronger then that which you have given me,
You were there molding and instilling into me things I didn’t see.
You were my mother and my father when parents were needed.
Your love for me was unimaginable since the day I was seeded.
When I cried you held me and told me it would be all right,
And just as you said, the problems were soon out of sight.
I understand laughter because you showed me how to smile,
I understand compassion as you taught when I was a child.
I know what love is for you gave it to me even when I was bad,
I now know how to love back even when I’m sad.
All these traits I have because of you,
Because my potential is always something you knew.
You were my number 1 fan and my only muse,
But this life without you I would never choose.
I know you are gone and the pain for you has ended,
But I can’t help but wish that time could be bended.
Bended enough to still have more time,
To laugh and talk about the memories in my mind.
I wish to understand why this deathly cycle happens,
When all it brings is tears and thoughts that always sadden.
My life for yours I would trade in a heartbeat,
Hoping that answers I would no longer seek.
Always know not a day will pass by that you are not on my mind,
I’ll think of you always and smile when the wind chimes.

This is a beautiful, powerful, and heartfelt tribute. I have lost both my parents, and my only brother....My mother also loved wind chimes. Thank you for sharing this.
