The embers burning.

How we see loss, as a deeper understanding of life, the value of a human breath and a beating heart, What ails the heart to feel that vacancy A whole in the knowledge of our being The void of loss so deeply felt, the voice of love unspoken, touch unredered, Surrendered to grief The process of time and healing the sadness, the distance between the unknown remaining time, It's the sorrow of loss that waves like the seas, an individual tide of craving their breath, That final goodbye for the light, in ones death The saved conversation in our mind, the kiss and gestures we shared The passage of growing together that breaks in the flesh of our lives, But never severs the love that was shown, it's the empty space they have left behind The essence of love where it elevates our mind, the bond between human to human affection, that comes by as mourning and deep reflection To lose something so treasured, and needed and loved , that someone who was always there, the souls absolute attention and the way that they care Its the value of life that we mourn and remember, the kindred spirits the spark and the ember, but the flame of a love that burned with passion known To be apart of their lives, as in our own Loss is a whirlpool in the deepest of seas, there is no comfort or painless nor ease, in separation between What we loved , when we lost, it's the validation of their absence the cost But divided from living the soul may provide, to keep those embers burning alive, we lose the flesh to hold and obtain, but love never dies, and will so remain.
