I am in the Light

[Wolfstarr]

A shadow of joy flickered; it is me.
I told you I wouldn't leave.
My memories, my thoughts are imbedded deep in your heart.
I still love you.
Do not for one moment think that you have been abandoned.
I am in the Light.
In the corner, in the hall, the car, the yard ~
these are the places I stay with you.
My spirit rises every time you pray for me,
but my energy comes closer to you.
Love does not diminish; it grows stronger.
I am the feather that finds you in the yard,
the dimmed light that grows brighter in your mind,
I place our memories for you to see.
We lived in our special way,
a way that now has its focus changed.
I still crave your understanding
and long for the many words of prayer
and good fortune for my soul.
I am in the Light.
As you struggle to adjust without me,
I watch silently.
Sometimes I summon up all the strength of my new world
to make you notice me.
Impressed by your grief,
I try to impress my love deeper into your consciousness.
As you should, I call out to the Heavens for help.
You should know that the fountain of youth does exist.
My soul is now healthy.
Your love sends me new found energy.
I am adjusting to this new world.
I am with you and I am in the Light.
Please don't feel bad that you can't see me.
I am with you wherever you go.
I protect you,
just as you protected me so many times.
Talk to me and somehow I will find a way to answer you.
Mother, Father, son or daughter, it makes no difference.
Brother, sister, lover, husband or wife, it makes no difference.
Whatever our connection ~ friend or even foe ~ I see you with my new eyes.
I am learning to help wherever you are, wherever I am needed.
This can be done because I am in the Light.
When you feel despair, reach out to me. I will come.
My love for you truly does transcend from Heaven to Earth.
Finish your life with the enthusiasm and zest that you had
when we were together in the physical sense.
You owe this to me, but more importantly,
you owe it to yourself.
Life continues for both of us.
I am with you because I love you
and I am in the Light.

Wolfie, WOW, my God, from all of the wonderful posts of poems that have pulled me through this journey, this one, IS THE ONE! where I currently lye in my thoughts, emotions, and believe and daily experience. And sometimes in somber sad mode, which is where I am this coming holiday, I so needed this to remind me, how true these words are and to never forget, that the spirit exists. Because I get so caught up in the rush of the moment, that doubt tries to work it's way into my mind at those times. I am printing this and I'm going to frame it, so I can reflect and never forget!!! And I'll write at the bottom Wolfie, because you mean soooooooo much to me, along with everybody in this forum that have posted such intense meaningful and loving words, whether it has come from the kindness of your hearts, or these awesome poems you all seem to find to help us move through our grief and time. Thanks you made my day today, been crying all weekend.

I was thinking this morning about Christmas and lighting a candle on Christmas Eve in remembrance of my dad, who passed unexpectedly in October. My mother is having a hard time and I was trying to think of a passage to read with the lighting of the candle. Then I remembered this posting and thought ... perfect, this is the one. Thanks again, dear (((wolfie)))
