Sacred Ground

On sacred ground

We unfortunately walk to a tomb

I never wanted to see

I feel it was too soon,

He blessed us with your presence

Your laughter

Your love

Your effervescence,

We are where your body rests

On bended knee

To join hands and say prayers

For we feel the need,

Still not believing

You are not here

Breathing amongst us

It's something I knew

One day I would fear,

For I would never be ready

To let go

But we must stay strong and steady,

We're sad as we leave your grave

Even though your soul does not reside here

We have faith and belief you walk beside us

But if we could feel you

I would like to believe it would ease some of the pain.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very solemn poem. Hard to walk with the dead and find peace.
"But we must stay strong and steady,"
I like the desire in the last line. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

As i read this I can totally relate do to the fact that were both going thought this. But i tell you one thing. You do not have to let go just yet. Prayer does help. Just hold on to all the amazing memories you have.
