He will be...

He will be forever summer,
a warm, floral scented breeze,
blue skies and single clouds,
clouds that drift slowly, silently, to a place unknown,
perhaps to where he now rests, peacefully,
with those that went before...

He will be an aching heart and tears,
a pain that only time can heal,
a chasm to be filled with memories,
memories of childhood days,
of sibling love, laughter,
of all that is good in life,
in mankind.

He will be stories and smiles,
a warm glow,
dreams,
loved,
loved,
loved...

and forever missed.

Gee - I'm lost for words as this is a first I have read of yours. And yes, a true to heart memory. May I offer you a virtual hug?

Death is one of the few certainties in life but we do struggle terribly with it. There is heartache but also quite a positive tone to your poem. Living on in memories is a kind of immortality. Sadly we don't always have these positive memories of those departed.
Well done Gee for this very thoughtful and affectionate poem.
Regards,
Alan
