The Breath of an Angel

I wrote this one a while back after my mum died, I thought I would share it here.

You left 

without saying goodbye

Life Stolen 

in the blink of an eye

So many words 

left unspoken

shattered dreams 

my spirit broken

Did leaving this world 

set your soul free

Will you always be here 

watching over me

A presence felt 

a glimmer 

a sigh

protecting me 

until I die

Or did you move on 

through time and space

On the breath of an angel 

to God’s loving embrace

Wow! This poem is so touching and well written. It reveals the sorrow, the longing and ever other possible emotion that a human feels on the death of a loved one. This poem reminds me so very much about the death of my grandmother, who too, died without saying goodbye; she died in coma. It is great that you could make the reader recollect his/her past experiences and yet show them around the new and fascinating realm of your creation. Very well done! Keep writing!

Very touching and beautifully written. To wish, only what is good for those we lose, is our duty. To know, that they feel the same of us, is a gift.

This piece reminds me of my uncle who died when he was 24 and about to be engaged.

Your loss is palpable in this piece. I am glad you shared this piece with us; I know that talking about the loss of a loved one can be difficult. I hope she is in the embrace of God right in the middle of a chorus of angels.
