Tears that had called out for you Then I felt a gentle touch upon my cheek I opened grief filled eyes to look into yours you smiled at me, a smile that glowed so bright You leaned down to brush your lips against my eyes to bring healing to my heart. You looked deeply into my eyes to make sure I understood your words. As you spoke I felt the warmth of your breath against my cheek. You spoke of the joy that we will always have in the memories we share. You held me while I cried for what was, That I prayed for again every night. You had heard these prayers and told me it always will be. That you had not left me. You are always near. I had a dream that felt so real, that when I awoke I saw you standing near. With a gentle smile and a loving kissing you entered my heart. ©Jaqueline Suzanne MacStewart aka BarTendersBluesWolf, 2007 Changes I look into the mirror with red-rimmed eyes And see pain filled eyes looking back at me, The pain in my soul and a deep sense of loss Color my perception of the person that I see. Slowly vision shifts and I see someone else, The person that I was before we ever met. And as I watch over time I see the changes, Gifts that your presence and love did beget. And I feel a soothing touch brush me lightly, And I feel a calming warmth touch my soul, And I see there looking back in the mirror, The parts of you in me that make me whole. As long as I am here your light will go on, The parts that are you are the best parts of me. I know in my heart I am better for you love, I know who you are has set my spirit free. The vessel that had held your light is shattered. You have traveled ahead, your tasks here done. For now you watch over and guide me with love, Until the day we travel on forever more as one. ©Candace 6/1/07
