You are the Universe...

(Yes,
For them-
Who think...
That you left me!
Sorry as well,
For I just heard you-

In the early chirrups…

You are the Universe-

Around me)

 

You follow me as the wind,

And guard me like the stars,

And chant the best of the chirps,

To heal these undying scars…

 

Your warmth, the sweetness of Sun,

And touch of grasses-your care…

You are the fireflies-

In the shadows- that I fear!

 

In the laughter of that child,

I behold your mirth,

When I miss you, this big-

I embrace this earth…

 

I know you are around me,

And watching what I do-

I may gaze occupied-

But…

Mostly, I think of you...

( This wind just whispered-

In my ears and left-

And here I park myself,

Staring at this void-

Smiling, yet...)

Author's Note

Some memories fulfills your day. And you long for the one who is no more with you. The sweetness lies when you realize that they are always around you.

Beautiful, haunting, poignant... they do become part of us and their spirit never leaves us although their physical presence has disappeared... thanks for sharing :

I agree. Beautiful artwork and strong words. Missed elders become part of us. They do become part of us also. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

A point of experience of oneness ... like an epiphany ... that finds itself related to all life. Wonderful.

One of the best poem from you, very well metaphorically written and it carries so much serenity and warm thoughts. Beautiful.

A remarkable poem, with metaphorical strength, a dialectical layout that is clever, that fits, Great !

Most telling of pieces, one walks through thoughts never far from the fore, well done, good read.
