Ashes to Ashes...Dust to Trust

Letting you go when I don't want you to 

 

Here I am again, feeling this same deep ache...
You've gone and left me, with only the memories.
Just like the others that shared our special space and time, 
one by one, you've been called home.

Yeah, I know what's over there, and we'll all be there someday.
But right now I feel so much pain.
The tears that fall are 'cuz we feel so separate.
No look, no touch, no hear, no listening, no physicality.

The path we walked together always veered 
yet once again we'd find a crossroad
where we met up once again.

Your ending is your beginning and I know
you're back where you belong.
So for now I'll let the tears fall, as
I know you truly are okay.

'Cuz your back with all our loved ones
that transitioned the same way.

Thanks for stopping by
and letting me know you're okay now...
It means so much to me to have
that validation from you.

And one fine day when it's my turn
I'll meet you on the bridge I'm sure.
With her and him and them and all...
and we'll party with joy for the return from our fall.

For it's this reality that is not real, 
yet in physical shoes it's hard to heal
from the pain of separation, is why we fear death
in spite of the knowing that it doesn't truly exist.

There is no end, no beginning it's true
and our spiritual selves are what we should do...
I won't waste any time fretting or wanting to change
anything I've done or any moment in time.

I love you I do, each special one of you.
So help me to heal to get over the loss of you.
For I know you will visit and I know I will tell
special stories about you and share with others as well.

I don't mean to say that you should have stayed with us
for I know that is selfish and your own path here ended.
Just know that we're healing and moving along
but you'll always be with us to help us be strong.

Thanks for the memories, thanks for the love,
and for now... so long... and shine on us from above.
