In Loving Memory

Forever you lie in green grass,

Surrounded by flowers

Like in the summertime.

It’s a beautiful landscape

Filled with somber silence.

My eyes search for your place,

While my soul freely seeks

A conversation;

My escape.

At first, our talks are cold.

I feel your stone against my back

As I lean on it.

There is tension between us:

It’s been awhile,

And the atmosphere is almost

Uninviting.

But you never feel any conflict,

Dearest child,

And you seem to be unaware

Of my flaws.

Slowly, you and I fill the space

With pleasant noise,

Enjoying our time despite its

Dark and dreary circumstances.

And that, darling sister,

Is how you heal my pain.

Extreamly heart-wrenching to read your thoughts on this. Losing a relative is a life changing experience. When my mother died I kept going back to the cemetery every week. It's hard to let go, but their always with us in their own way to comfort us long after their gone. Nice tribute.
