Solace in the Waters

When good people die
devils dance and angels cry.
Tears become an ocean
so the ones left behind
can bathe in the memories of love
and swim back in strength,
knowing that
while life is impermanent,
love itself is sublime.

When we lose our loved ones, what is left
is the love we felt for them.
