A Memory on the Wind
By BlackBear
As I lay dying
And saw the pain and relief on your face
I found the strength to raise my hand
And reach for you.
The effort burst my heart
But as the darkness began to close my eyes
I saw you take my offer
You were my last sensation.
Now as I float in ethereal nothing
No sound, no light, no warmth nor taste nor smell
Your touch keeps me aware
A memory on the wind.
If I remain
Out here a hundred million years
A breath upon the surface of the universe
I will carry your soul.
As you lie dying
And eternity gathers round without
Reach out your hand
You’ll find you still have mine.

That is absolutely beautiful Michael. To know the feeling of one's hand "still" being there, that is comforting.

I've been writing for years, and have lost volumes of work. Underlying emotions are too shallow for me. What I express comes from deep places hidden.

"What I express comes from deep places hidden" i do not doubt this forgive me if that's what you mistook from it. I'll leave this alone and save myself the embarrasment of not having the words to explain what's going through my head
