Twenty years
You’ve been gone
Away from this life
Its routine and strife
Free from this world
Its ties and its binds
Fetched by eternity –
Transcendent of time
Tag mourning
Shadows and Memories
Ever since you left
All that remains
Are memories,
Empty space,
And shadows
Of the life
We once
Shared
Eternal Dream
The headline caught my eye
I stopped to read the words
Little boy and his friend
Aged two and a few days
Fell to their eternal dream
The phone rang in the night
I answered to hear your voice
Your son and his friend
Popped into my mind
And I knew
Feather in the Wind
You were taken from me
Suddenly
One moment you were in my life
And the next
You were gone
Leaving me to cherish each dream
When I see you again
Always reaching
Never quite touching
At night when I’m alone
I can hear your voice
I can feel your spirit
And know that you are near
You are alive
For a moment
And then you are gone
Carried away
Like a light
Feather
In the wind
Goodbye
I wanted to see you today
But you were busy
I wanted to speak to you
But you could not hear
I wanted to hear your voice
But in saying nothing
You said goodbye
Dreaming of You
I dream of you
At night when dreams are free
And thoughts are real
I dream of you
When you are nowhere near
But in my dreams
I dream of you
When you are far away
But by my side
I dream of you
When it cannot be
That you are here
I dreamt of you
Last night
Fragile
Flowers offered in peace
To do what flowers do best
Offering comfort
Offering relief
But none is taken
None is found
Because there is no balm
When three young hearts
Farewell their mother
And parents lose their son
New week’s morning transformed into a
Lifetime of mourning
Flowerscape
Landscape of flowers
Presenting a bright sea to
A nation in tears
Sporting Tragedy
In the midst of tears
Tragedy and turmoil, please
Spare a thought for Sean
Condolences to the family of Philip Hughes
And all those involved in this very sad tragedy
Life cut short
In the prime of his
Years, tribute
