Let it Be

Let it be,
that I may someday touch the stars.
When all time for me has expired,
and the soul begins to part.
Guide me through the heavens,
where life one day began.
A perfect creation,
molded right out of
our Fathers loving hands.

My Saddest Day
April 21, 2009 · Filed Under Death Poems, Funeral Poems, In Loving Memory Poems, Memory Poems, Poems of Bereavement · Comment
It all started when in at five past midnight
Now I am lying stiff and cold
Deep in troubled dreamless sleep.
Cotton wool stuffed in my nostrils,
I cannot breathe.
A rag tightening my jaws together,
I cannot protest.
My feet bound together,
Surely there is no escape this time round.
Granny chose they dress me up in my favourite suit,
But this time there [...]
The Burial of Carol Joy Beglau
by: Walter Wykes (1969- ) It seems fitting that the men you knew in life perform this task These are no strangers struggling with the rocky earth no hired men with power tools It is your sons and grandsons your daughters’ husbands who make a place for you with a shovel and their hands originally posted at Black Cat PoemsDaring Time

You granted me childhood
Allowed me to err
You showed me life
Revealing the secrets
You read my soul
Unwarranted love
*******
You took a path
I could not follow
A right reclaimed
and granted
a thousandfold
*******
Time, re-created,
Is now a gate onto the future
And beyond that gate
Your future has now begun

Ama Dablam – Mother’s Necklace

Mother’s necklace
Evening star
On canyon rim
Orion’s image
In Nepal land
A mountain’s love
Were you, my child
Motionless trees
Stood the sky
On moonlit nights
For you, my child
Horizon your prayer
Waterfall your music
The splendor cathedral
Your life, my child
Ama Dablam, a necklace offered
To me, your flesh and blood
When you said, a day resplendent
Fatality broke your song
- by Els van den Eynde
From Me

In Loving Memory Poems
From Me
If you see a sunset, it’s me, smiling
From behind it.
If I go away far, and you see a star
If you find it,
I’m inside it.
You can fold it, and hold it forever,
If you hide it.
If our words and worlds sever — if ever
I lose you;
If two thousand light-years or seven
Confuse you;
Remember me. [...]

In Loving Memory Poems
I Thought
I thought
That I forgot.
I thought
I left you
In my past.
Years went by
I thought
the feeling died
Inside
At last.
Then
One day
It came to me -
So suddenly.
So fast.

Remember
When I no longer stand here by your side,
At night beneath the moonlit milky way;
When I no longer kneel with you and pray,
And swear to you with stern, unshaking pride
That I will never travel far away…
When I my faithful promises betray,
And on the far side of the earth I hide;
When all my words of poetry [...]
Picture in a Box

In Loving Memory Poems
Box
I found your photo
In a box.
It didn’t move.
It didn’t talk.
And every day,
I looked in vain,
And every day,
It stayed the same.
It didn’t answer me,
Or change.
The lines across
Your face remained
Exactly where
They’d been before.
I hung your picture
On a door,
I lay my memories
On the floor.
I put your picture
On the wall.
You didn’t write.
You didn’t call.
My stomach burned
My [...]
