In Memory

Time To Let Time    

It's the seventh day

Of your passing 

And the third day of your interment

In my heart and mind

I see your smile

For in our tears and fears

We feel the God of our understanding

Not just on a cross 

Or memorialized in pages 

In churches, temples or synagogues

For human greed and need 

But the spirit surrounding us

Welcoming you

As you and we cannot; yet must

Let ourselves be in the light 

Tethered by love

Not strung by regrets 

Around what’s left on earth 

In the turmoil of tears

Flooding into and out of us

An ocean of love and pain

You can’t feel anymore

And we

Feel so much more 

For soon it will be time to let go 

As memories keep all 

Let good remember to forget bad

Beyond this earth 

Find meaning to warm feelings 

In the words of embraces

From someone no longer here 

But is always there

Where we are one.
