"A Walk to Waters Edge"

I watch the ocean tide and wave

walk to waters edge

reflecting the gifts she gave

rembering times rembering when

knowing no earthly ships

will bring her back again

Moon mirrors on water top

for flow and movement

will never stop

a birth a death

an everlasting flame

with her exquisite touch

we shall never be the same

Burning deep within our spirit

her gifts reside

and if we listen closely

we shall always hear it

I watch the sea

churn and mourn

for those left behind

hearts sorrowed and torn

but the Lord is smiling

as she smiles before His eyes

beholding what we do with her gifts

blessings in disguise

Jeff, Your poem really touched me. I lost my soul mate in 1997. I have written tons of poetry about our love and the torture of his loss. I just recently lost someone very close to me and I lost my mind over it. Thank you for your words! Maybe I will start posting some of my work. Thank You! Kandace
