Poem -
Moving On
A welcome numbness travels up my body
Lying here, my mind is relaxed to empty
A heart slows, from a cask emotion drains
A fight done, only loving memory remains
Light dimming, aching limbs no longer there
Frozen time, no urge to succumb to despair
My soul readies, for another plain and place
A smile so peaceful comes to my ashen face
Senses end, in a blanket of comforting warmth
Last flicker of life, I slip away to find my worth.
One final breath is given, shallow and slow
Then it is an all encompassing beauty I know.

Hello Richard. Deep write, thanks for sharing. Cheers.
It is based on the passing of my father, the course of which is still so vivid after twenty years.
Best wishes to you.
Hello Richard...
I can relate to this so much...
My Mother stopped speaking six days before she passed...
I was her caregiver and I watched her illness take her away...
Everyday was a new challenge and...
Before I could could enter her room I said a prayer...
One morning I just walked in realized I didn't pray first...
Bad morning I can honestly say...
After that I was thankful for another day with her...
The hardest prayer in the whole thing was when I was in the middle of wanting her to stay and having to let her go...
She lived six weeks after her diagnosis...
I know the memories seem like yesterday...
I miss her too...
I am so sorry for your loss...
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

Hey Richard. I can relate to this write. I was not there when my grandpa passed away but I could feel something different in the air that day . I felt a sadness but I did not know why . I know it was hard to lose your father and I can only imagine the hurt at that moment in time. He is in better place and the sun is shinning down for a great man who I know transformed your life . Hugs and my love to you .rock
