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!

That was really good. Great, teared up again. It just makes me wonder how I'll feel if/when my mom is to pass away.

Thank you. It's a hard journey and hopefully it will be a long time before you have to go through that.

Death is never easy. Especially when it is unexpected. The poem a very sad story. I lost people when I was in war. Came home and got my heart broken when I realized they were gone. I know my dear family members were in a better place. Thank you for sharing the poem. A beautiful poem to remember your mother.

I didn't read the little note under the title until after I read this... I thought of my mother. She died when I was 14. I am sorry for the void the loss creates... My mother has been gone for 30 years and I find I want and need her more now than I ever thought in the past. A lovely tribute!

Thank you. Yes I'm the same been 20 years for me and I still feel the void and the loss of her passing. I can't even imagine what it would be like to have a mother now, seems like an impossible dream.

A Touching tribute, I can't imagine my Mom dying.
