Reminiscent Tears

...in memory of a friend

Reminiscent Tears

 

Ashes to ashes

dust to dust

 

my heart lies

mortally wounded by

 

reminiscent tears.

 

 

 

 

in loving memory of Tony

Author's Note

A quote from Hemingway reads, "No one you love is ever truly lost." I've taken solace in those words today.

There is little to be said at times like these...all the clichés...they're in a better place...their pain is over...don't ease the loss...in time the ache will lift and the tears will tend more toward smiles.
They'll always be with you...even when you think they're not...they're there, in your thoughts and in your heart.
Take care.

I talk to him out loud, as though he were here. I asked him to give me a sign that he was alright and not in any pain...to let me know he knew I loved him. I've had 3 signs in the 2 weeks he's been gone that have pretty much turned me around. Perhaps the best way we can honor their memory is to go on and live our life in a way that would make them proud. I appreciate the warmth of your words. Thank you, Ted!

Kelly, that's all we can do...and hope what we do would make them proud...signs from the other side are wonderful...they let you know things are OK

:( feeling you Kelly ... the simplicity of the form your poem took is eye appealing to me ... it belies the depth of emotion .. quote works perfectly says i! have to agree with good ol' Hem ;) they are never lost ... and always friends ... it just occurred to me ... we don't have to fight with them anymore .. even those memories, at least for me, make me smile amid the tears .... big hug Legs!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Your brevity for your friend Tony's memory is deeply touching. They live on in our thoughts and our memories after they have departed. As long as we live, so shall they. I hope you find comfort Kelly. Losing special people can be devastating.

As long as people remember them they haven't truly died... they live on, even having some influence in the legacy they have left behind for others to contemplate..
