Where Are You?
I'm in the wind, I'm in the breeze
I'm in the flowers and in the trees
I'm all around; though you cannot see
Please don't weep, I'm still me.
I'm energy now, a beam of light
I watch over you, day and night
I'm in your heart; can you not feel?
The depth of our love; does it not heal?
I scattered you at water's edge
Mindful of the rocky ledge
The lake was calm, the sky was blue
I saw a butterfly; then there were two
Please tell me that it was you.
A pair of dragonflies, glistening wings
Dipping, dancing, shining things
Great heron swooped into view
I saw another, making two
Once again, was that you?
Just close your eyes my love and feel
I'm not gone, I'm real as real
I've only changed, transformed as they say
I'll never leave you, I won't go away
I am the light that flickers in the hall
I am the shadow you see on the wall
I'm all around, though you cannot see
I'm not gone
I am still me.

Beautiful!! Great job! Thanks for sharing.
Hate that you have had a bad day.

Wendy, it\'s beautiful! It touches my heart deeply. Butterfly is the sign that I asked Phil to give me so that I know he is ok after he passed away. Since then, I\'ve seen butterflies everywhere I go, in any form on the earrings, Tshirt, bags, on any one I bumped in. Butterfly on the cars that passing by, butterflies on any magazines that I flipped over. It happens everyday too often to be coincidence. I almost cried when I read your poem! I feel like you wrote it for me. Wendy! are you ok now? Yes, I still feel him around, but i can neither see him nor touch him. Wendy, are you ok now? I hope you feel better ! I could feel your pain! you\'re not alone. Take care and thanks again for sharing your beautiful poem1

Thank you everyone. It just came out of me. No thought, just swirled around in my head for a bit and then popped out on the page.
Hugs to all of you and thanks for your wonderful support. It makes this horrible journey a little bit better.
Very touching and beautiful. You captured the essence of a loved one lost and shared it with us. Thank you so much....
