Iam near

Poem about those left behind.

I am near.

 

 

Death is just, a step away, a mystery, a mist.

It holds me, gently in the light,

My essence turns your very sight,

You know I am near, but cannot see.

 

I feel your sadness, I feel your love,

I have no body and I have no pain,

I want to tell you, shed no tear,

I want to tell you, that I am near.

 

The light, the warmth, the honey glow,

I see them, I feel them, but you cannot know.

You are you, and I am me,

You know I’m here, but cannot see.

 

Those around you, feel me too,

a whisper a shadow, I let them know,

Don’t fear the shadows, that appear,

You cannot see me, but I am here.

 

I have touched you, whilst you have slept.

And in your dreams, I have slowly crept.

Silently, I kissed your lips.

You know I am near, but cannot see.

 

Time has no meaning anymore,

It’s just a glimpse, of a bright new day.

A robin sings, and a child’s prayer.

You cannot see me, but I am there.

 

I must leave you now, but we will meet again.

On a bright summer morn, or a winter’s day,

The day will come, when the mist will clear.

And you will see me, when I am near.

Disturbing and yet somehow uplifting.

I couldn't help but hear 'Don't Fear the Reaper' as I read. Which is not a bad thing.

Very nicely done.

Very Nice Ken.
