Here and After

Transparency, awareness and self-reflection;

As if to say - I can achieve perfection;

In the midst of loss, pain, and dread;

No regrets. I know much was left unsaid.

Squall lines inevitable and straight ahead.

 

Navigating with a will to steer;

Mitigation of fear from those near and dear;

Every life has its share of woes;

Pray for guidance and steady as it goes;

Until it’s you - no-one knows.

Living in the here and now;

We got here some way, somehow.

Change is a constant state of things; 

Life and the circumstance it brings;

You are gone but I know you’re on angel wings.

 

Memories abound;

Of when you were around.

You were always kind;

Among us, you still remind;

To make this life the best we can find.
