Last Sigh

....but a teardrop in your essence

that sense will always disquiet

 took my breath away when you took yours

always a flutterby yearning in your flight

  you float with the angels heralding peace

a promise to proclaim faith in all begrud'd

  your last word, 'be kind in my absence'

written in the blood of all mankind

Thanks Jen, I lost an old friend to brain cancer, she won her battle with breast cancer and succumb to this tragedy, she has two kids she leaves behind and was merely 47 years young, it always stirs up my own pain with my sister, thanks for your kind words.

A sense of "disquiet" pervades this piece. Truly heartbreaking... "Be kind in my absence." This piece is the sort that stays with you after reading. Never forgotten...

[Frieda P]

Thank you for your gracious words Diana....much appreciated.

Another lovely poem in the shelter where you hide my Lady. In the Lea (Lee) of life's storm. I wondered if you had enough written about this pain to publish a volume which could be interspersed with commentary about the pain of loss etc. it would be a lovely book which could serve to soothe those who are in the same position and perhaps calm those who might contemplate to leave their loved ones behind with such eternal lacerations.

[Frieda P]

I'm sure more than enough John, if only people would realize they leave their pain behind tenfold, I don't know what the answers are my friend, I certainly didn't want her to suffer...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Dearest Frieda we seek answers often when there are none. Physician heal thyself for to cry endless tears simply washes away the strength we need to honour our fallen!

[Frieda P]

There's a difference between fallen and leapt John, herein lies the problem my friend.

I nearly lost it on the last two lines...I felt like I was about to bawl like a baby. But there isn't much else I can say here. We've talked, and you know I'm thinking of you on this day. xo

[Frieda P]

We've gone through this together on many occasions it seems Steve, such an unfortunate bond that holds us together, nonetheless, it's always good to have someone who truly understands...xo

How can such sorrow be so beautiful. I think I ask that question a lot when I read some of your sadder works and I always come up with the same answer...because everything you write is beautiful. This feels so very soft, but the content brings tears to our eyes.

Lovely my sweet friend.

[Frieda P]

You have a huge heart my sweet friend, your kindness is always apparent, not only towards me but everyone on this site, I'm proud to call you my friend....thank you Jack from the bottom of my heart.
