So Far Away

Written about a friend who left

So far away…

Left behind…

No one told me how much it hurts…

The anguish, the pain…a never-ending ache…

Does it ever go away?

Will I ever feel whole again instead of like a fragile crystal that is splintering into fine pieces?

Will I shatter and break, never to be glued back together…

Or will I be able to hold on, to find an anchor in the raging sea…?

Then I think of you….remember you…

Memories envelop me…filling me with a warm inner peace…

I turn and see you face, your spirit beside me…

I feel your strong and secure presence…

Wrapping your arms of love around me.

I then know I can hold on, persevere…

For you are with me…

In my mind, my soul, in every living things that surrounds me…

In my memories and in my heart…

Lessening the pain with each passing day.

I will survive, I will go on…

Holding on to the image of you.
