The dark has swallowed me
My way is unknown, my path gone
your soul has flown from this world
lonliness has become my companion
love and laughter are a fleeting glance
over my shoulder I feel a tug
a motion, a breeze of air
as time goes and my soul aches
the emptiness feels all consuming. yet
on bended knees, tears upon skin, darkness all around
path of life long hidden from my eyes, I scream and endless scream.
without warning a light begins to shine
not sure what I am seeing, as I stare with tears upon skin. The light becomes a flame. I hear your voice and feel your firm hand guiding me. my feet begin to walk of their own accord. suddenly laughter flows from a mouth.
thats my mouth, those are my giggles, there is my path, here is my life
May you always go before and with me, may your love and soul always be my guiding flame.
Forever will I hold you close and laugh with you often.
Dedicated to Salina may you find your laughter and smile again. Lifes path is still before you and the flame of your loving soul will yet again shine brightly.

awe well thank you. She is a dear sweet friend, I wrote this for her after a relative passed and she couldnt find her light. I don't write as often as I would like to. perhaps I should pick it back up. It made her smile and that was my goal.
