Sometimes we must say goodbye to the light that has guided us.
This poem reflects on the memories left behind by a loved one who has passed.
Farewell, My Guiding Star
I gaze upon the evening sky,
Where your light once shined so bright.
Now you dance where angels fly,
A lone star lost to the eternal night.
My guiding star, your glow is gone,
Yet in my heart, you linger on.
You left your love as a beacon to embrace,
To guide me through this darkening space.
I whisper wishes into the skies,
Hoping they'll reach where your soul lies.
Though you sail on galaxies far and wide,
Your spark within me will forever reside.
As we venture through life, the echo of loved ones follows us, even in their absence.
Death is a silent echo, one that leaves a lasting resonance in our hearts.
The Silent Echo
You've left this world, the pain is rife,
A silence fell upon your life.
Yet in the echo of your absence,
There lies the beauty of your essence.
The laughter, tears, the love we've known,
Are seeds of joy that you have sown.
Now in my core, these memories seed,
And in their blooms, you live, indeed.
So until the stars no longer shine,
Within this heart, you'll intertwine.
The silent echo of your spirit,
I hold it close, I feel you near it.
When the sun sets on a life, it paints the sky with memories.
This poem is an homage to the beauty and sadness of the final sunset we all face.
Crimson Sunsets
As sunsets turn from gold to red,
So too our dear loved one’s shed.
A final bow, the curtain calls,
As into twilight’s arms, they fall.
Their light fades from our earthly sight,
But in our hearts, they still burn bright.
Memory's flame flickers high,
In warmth and love, it never dies.
Goodbye’s just a whisper soft,
A gentle lifting, up aloft.
With each crimson sunset, know,
In its hues, their love still glows.
Life is as ephemeral as a leaf in the wind, each journey unique and each departure profound.
This poem speaks to the natural course of life and the inevitable goodbye.
A Leaf in the Wind
A leaf that once clung to its tree,
Now drifts on the wind, wild and free.
A life that danced in the breeze,
In death finds a solemn peace.
The tree stands tall, branches bare,
Missing what once flourished there.
But in the forest of our minds,
The leaf’s journey forever winds.
We part with tears, we let go,
Accepting what we cannot foreknow.
Our loved one, like that leaf, alights,
Where new horizons meet new sights.
In the hardest of goodbyes, we find comfort in the thought of unseen wings.
This poem embraces the idea of our loved ones taking flight into another realm.
Unseen Wings
We said goodbye in quiet sorrow,
Knowing not a new tomorrow.
But in the soft glow of the dawn,
A feeling that you're not truly gone.
You wear now wings we cannot see,
Sailing through the sky, forever free.
In whispered winds, your laughter rings,
A melody that softly sings.
So fly high upon those wings unseen,
Remembered fondly, loved and keen.
Your journey now on paths divine,
Your spirit with the stars align.
The parting veil between life and death is thin but filled with lasting impact and love.
Here we imagine the gentle passage from our world to the next.
Beyond the Veil
The veil fluttered, a gentle wave,
As you crossed over, brave and grave.
Gone from sight but not from heart,
In memories, we'll never part.
Behind the veil, where spirits dwell,
Stories of you, we'll always tell.
The impact you've made, a force so strong,
In souls you've touched, you'll live on long.
Goodbye for now, not forever,
Our bond intact, severed never.
Until the veil lifts once more,
With you, love's legacy we'll store.
As we say goodbye, our whispered words are carried on, hopes that they reach the ears of those we've lost.
This poem is a tender goodnight, spoken with the hope that it will be heard in heaven.
Whispers to Heaven
In silent whispers, soft and low,
We speak to heaven, longing so.
For your ears to catch our sighs,
Our love that never, ever dies.
With every word, we hope and pray,
Your spirit's close, not far away.
And in the quiet of the night,
We feel your warmth, we see your light.
So rest well in that distant land,
And know our love is close at hand.
We whisper to you through our tears,
Eternal love transcends the years.
Just like the seasons, life has its cycles of beginnings and endings.
This poem meditates on the cyclical nature of life and the peaceful transition from one season to the next, including the passage of death.
Seasons Fade
The leaves fall gently to the ground,
A hush, a whisper, without sound.
The seasons shift, the cycles fade,
Life's pattern in nature artfully made.
And as the autumn claims the light,
We too must yield to the coming night.
Yet in this change, there is no fear,
Just the love for those we held so dear.
For seasons come and seasons go,
In death’s own rhythm, slow and low.
We bid farewell, with love's refrain,
'Til the spring of souls shall come again.
They say we are all made of stardust, and to the stars we shall return.
This poem is an ode to the cosmic journey we share with our loved ones, even in death.
Shared Stardust
From stars we came, to stars return,
In life’s grand, celestial sojourn.
We share this stardust, you and I,
Boundless spirits in the sky.
Though death may seem a solemn night,
It's but a journey to the light.
In cosmic dance, our souls shall twirl,
Together in the astral whirl.
So when the final dusk descends,
Fear not the dark, for love transcends.
The stardust shared shall guide our ways,
Until the end of our eternal days.
In every goodbye, there is a song of farewell, a melody of the heart that remains.
This poem explores the undying song that echoes with the memory of those who have passed on.
The Parting Song
Your life, a song, a sweet refrain,
That in my soul will long remain.
Though your voice has ceased to be,
Its echo rings on, eternally.
The parting song, though bittersweet,
Is filled with love, so pure, so neat.
A tune that carries through the gloom,
And in my heart finds ample room.
So as I sing this final ode,
Your memory is my abode.
In every note, I find your trace,
And once more feel your warm embrace.
