After you are gone….

After you are gone….

A few seconds ago I saw your face

A few seconds ago I felt your touch

A few seconds ago I met your gaze

…… just a few seconds ago.

& now you’re gone….

Gone to make a new world your own

To spread your beauty & love

Within a few seconds you shall embrace eternity into your beautiful arms

A few seconds ago….

Just a few seconds ago, I had your hands in mine

A few seconds ago your eyes were before me with their exquisite shine

A few seconds ago your love met my heart

A few seconds ago you separated your self from me to make a start

& now your gone….

Mind, body & soul

Away from its other half, leaving me incomplete forever

In a few seconds I lost what I could never think of living without

A few seconds ago the world was beautiful

A few seconds ago life was colourful

A few seconds ago the earth was firm below my feet

A few seconds ago Heaven was here before my eyes

And now your gone…

Leaving before me…..   hell

A hell that I have to live in

A life that I have to live out

An earth that I have to endure

Why my beloved would you punish me so,

to live on,

even for a few seconds after you are gone!!!

My Son, Lost

My son, lost

Blood of my spirit, not my body

You watched calmly as I split the wood

And stacked the stones

No voice from heaven

But sound of your mother breaking

Foretold that the knife would not be stayed

Warned no scapegoat was coming

Surely the saints

Have seen with the eyes of Ezekiel

The wheel of fire, devoid of comfort

Only grief and terror

I have heard the prayers of such holy men

And I still pray
