I felt like my heart had so much to say early this morning, and out came this poem. 🩵
(Ethereal)
My ethereal mind could no longer feel…
Constantly debating whether or not this pain was real.
Pain rushing into my brain like waves in the ocean;
Hoping it will be able to sense my body’s love and devotion.
I know that this may seem somber.
However, when I come to the ocean it allows my soul to wander.
Happiness doesn't feel so distant.
My thoughts are limpid.
When I am here?
There is no fear.
The peace that we wish could be everlasting.
Nothing has felt the same since your passing.
I feel so close to you when the waves rush in.
Washing away the pain and sin.
I listen to every one of the shells on the beach,
They have so much to teach.
What once felt like the furthest six feet away;
The ocean brings you back to life in a way.
I see you dancing on the water,
I reminisce on all the laughs we shared on the playground teeter-totter.
Your smile illuminates the night sky,
I used to always beg the LORD above and ask HIM why.
Why did HE have to take you?
The years were far too few.
But when I come to the ocean and look up at the sky,
I get my answer every time.
I no longer have to ask why.
You are at peace.
The thought of that heals all the pieces…
That I felt were lost…
They were just tossed.
You were always here.
I miss you so much, my dear.
Seeing you at peace and dancing in the night,
Always sparks my inner light.
When I go to the coastline;
I am with you again, and I know that everything will be just fine.
We will be together again soon.
I feel it each time I rest in my room.
You will always be with me,
I will always be with you.
My lifeline!
You will always be…
