Whispers

 
Every day that I remember,
I smile yet also ache.
Time stops as I close my eyes,
And feel a moment's breath taken away.
Salty tears freely stream,
Still hoping that the loss is just a dream;
Yet you are gone for me to touch, 

To laugh and be with in eternity's watch. 

In solitude and beauty that nature divines, 

You leave traces and whispers 

Of your love that enshrines. 

Teach me to heal in fortitude and grace, 

By always carrying a part of you 

Through my living days.
