Just beyond - a little way
there is a land, they say
where dwell the souls we loved
through the years, the months
the hours of yesterday.
Love's gentle touch is gone
and the hand-clasp, no more is
ours to grasp.
But, memories, sweet memories living on
reach out beyond - and
bring that land afar - so near
that we can understand - and hear
again - the voices that journeyed on
a-calling back the message clear -
Grieve not - dear hearts - be
calm and carry on
Love is living - waiting - just beyond!
Glad you're back, Margie! We've missed you!
ReplyDeleteLife can be so unexpected, as can death. This poem sums it all up with that beautiful thread of hope you manage to weave into all your work. Thank you for this.
Where there is hope and lover ... there is always a way.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always.

hugs for you.
Giving time out Margie ... reflecting and searching. :o)

ReplyDeleteNot the enemy
Waiting -
Yet arriving
At the same time?
How to release,
How to embrace,
How to welcome
Beyond time?
Yes.
Hi Margie,
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I'm so happy your sister is well.
I ♥ this poem.
You're right the memories of loved ones always live on inside of you. I don't think you ever truly get over someone, you just take a piece of the memory with you.
Take care, sweet Margie!

another lovely poem Margie, lik a dear friend of mine said to me, something which i will remembr for my entire life.. ppl who leave us leave a part of them in us which lives through us as long as we are alive.
ReplyDeleteHope ur sister gets completely alright soon.
tc.
Beautiful. This one means a lot to me, Margie. Mum was taken to hospital this morning and, I am told, won't return home. She has gotten to the point where living is harder than dying . . . and is ready to let go.

Have you had enough snow?
excellent simlpy lovely....u made me emotional margie :)
ReplyDeleteit reminds me a song in hindi ..it goes like this....and transaltaion in englis
Duniya se janewale jane chale jate hai kaha **
People who leave this world where does they go
Kaisa doodhe koi unko nahi koi kadmo ke nishaan**
where to search them there are no foot steps
jane hai woh kon nagariya **
dont know which world is that
aaye jaye khat na khabariya**
no news and no letters from their side
aaye jab jab unki yaade,aaye hotho pe fariyade **
when we miss them, we get complain on our lips
jake phir na aane wale ,jane chale jate hai kaha....**
they neve come back after leaving these world..where does they go???
Take Care
Vikas{V}

Nice to have you back dear Margie, to hear from you and knowing sis is better.
ReplyDeleteThose we love/loved live forever within us... no matter where they are.
Once there is/was a deep connection with someone they become part of us, of our consciouness - and that is pure (bonding) energy.

My "sympathy" bag just runeth empty regarding your snow and freezing temepratures - wonderful you managed to travel in and out without incident - just having had the first day of full sun since Haloween.
