Fearful.

Hesitant to open

Up

And

Touch this sorrow,

The grief.

This love untethered to earth

Now.

Where does it go.

I only hope you knew;

You know

How your calm in the storm

Enveloped us.

Your beautiful mind and heart;

Wisdom whispered

And heard when we silenced ourselves.

Listening.

Your heartbeat rhythm now

Missing from this family chorus.

An emptiness in between

Unspoken.

Love swells shared in teary

laughter.

Missing your presence 

We reach for one another and find you.

Love remains.
