Something I wrote at the loss of someone very dear |
I felt her wings fluttering, As I touched her pristine soul, I saw her look at me, With eyes that you just know Were your own, though….. I moved my hand on her body And I looked at the clear blue sky I heard her being all quiet And move her head in a cry And I looked in those eyes again As they saw me through my soul And I shivered, I shuddered in agony ‘cos I knew she had to go I kissed her on her forehead, And I kissed her last good bye And in my very own hands, I held her body lie, And I look for one last time at her As she clinched her limbs on my fingers Saying a million words I couldn’t gather But still sounding so clear And I looked away With every ounce of strength And I pushed her away one final time With very little that I could say And she sensed my hapless whim And she dug her head in my chest And then with a sudden burst of strength She just flew away…… I kept on looking, searching Into the distant sky To see, to hear the faintest, Of her dying cries But none were coming, None would come, For to go was her greatest dream And how much I wish she stayed along But it would still be just a whim She belongs to the skies And I am dear to the ground, She has her wings to soar up And I am chained to the ground He who made me, Made her too And gave her wings to fly He who made her, Made me too, And gave me a heart to cry……. |
