“All human life has its seasons, and no one’s personal chaos can be permanent: winter, after all does not last forever does it? There is summer, too, and spring, and though sometimes when branches stay dark and the earth cracks with ice, one thinks they will never come, that spring, that summer, but they do, and always."
T.Capote

With Me

Everywhere I look,
In all I see,
And in everything I do,
You are here.

You are the stars twinkling in the sky,
Reminding all of your smile everlasting.

You are the wind whirling the leaves in circles about my feet,
In my hair whipping across my face,
The gentle breeze rocking the chimes ever so gently,
Just to let me know you’re near.

The ocean waves crashing on the sand,
Talk to me like the friends we always were,
Comfortable companions through so many years, you and I.

You are the flowers just reaching full bloom,
Only to be cut down,
Before anyone can truly appreciate their full beauty.

You are these things and so much more,
My heart so heavy,
My eyes so sad,
Life goes on around me so differently now that you’re gone.

In the quiet of the night,
I lay so still,
I see your face,
I hear your voice.

Peace has finally come to you,
At the greatest price one could possibly pay.
But still I know you’re fine,
It’s me that can’t move on with this life of mine.

Too many questions I still ask,
Knowing the answers will never come.

Everywhere I look,
In everything I do,
From now to eternity,
I know you’ll always be,
Here in my heart with me.
