REMEMBERED

DEPARTED

MOURNING

Is there another place where he still smiles?
Can I touch him again through a bend in time
Where this reality has changed and life goes on?
Metaphysical nonsense creates heaven's Golem
A shambling crippled comfort to my sorrowing


HELPLESS

My hidden voices speak no more
No past life can help me now
Stunned and mute they keep vigil
As I weep alone foresaken

Now I keep my quiet sorrows
With bitterly learned new skills
Stored away for my future lives
In safekeeping for their need
ADVISORS

MIRROR OF THE MIND

AMPUTATION

It is said that a mirror image of an arm
Will banish the sense of a missing limb
The mind will compensate with the view
Of an amputated figure made whole again


Gazing with hopeful eyes at those remaining
I seek comforting reflections of my loss
Untouched the aching wounds still throb
Not healed by well intended trickery

 


FOXHOLE

There are no wishes for false solace...but
What realistic comfort CAN be found?

Quietly denying pledges for life hereafter...but


Wondering where hide the promises of today

Simplistic answers remain forsworn...but


Ancient questions still rip my heart

My pain and grief remain unslaked...but
Unswerving I will stand alone

ILLUSIONS- VARO

WAVES OF GRIEF

WAVES OF GRIEF

A Tsunami of grief has come and gone
I am still standing
Waves of mourning try to push me down
I am still standing
An ocean of memories beckons me forward
I am still standing
The placid sea invites me to swim in sweet sorrow
I am still standing
An undertow of false comfort beckons me in
I am still standing
Should I dare the hidden riptides of painful regrets
I would certainly drown


REINCARNATION

The Universe is ever growing and dying
Creation continues in the stars
Our atoms are recycled into new life
We are part of everything in the World


Our memories are part of nature's creation
A continuous cycle of death and rebirth
My memories of you are a quantum equation
Carrying your loving spirit forever within me.

PILLARS OF CREATION

PIECES OF MY SOUL

FRACTIONS

Every life that is lost
Every spirit that has gone
Every soul that transmutes
Is part of my existance
We are alone in the Universe
Yet connected to each other
I mourn the loss of part of me
And all who now are with him
Together in the fabric of time
