Loss

Living and losing are hard to do.
A friend closed his eyes today and left us behind.

"Reflections"

Dreamy girls' reflections at sea, a photo by Amsterdam RAIL on Flickr.

I think that I am missing something
Forgetting the importance of the night
  Remembrance, reflection, relating
  Ridiculous, ranting, raving
There is a word that people use
  On this night - resolution
I think that I am missing something
Forgetting the importance of the word
  Relevant, repetitious, resolutions
Maybe I am not the one missing it
Forget empty promises & live life


  

The sun

I knew you, when the sun was brighter and warmer. I would bask in your light, as you shined, illuminating our home. You were brilliant! You were beautiful! You were amazing! You were my sun and I was your sunshine. These things cannot last long - they never do. I can't remember why you faded. I don't remember how or when. I do know that there is still a light inside of you - behind the pain. I remember you, shining like the sun. I remember sitting at your feet and dreaming of being everything that you were - then. I remember praying for your beauty to be passed down to me. I loved you like a flower loves the sun - following you, drinking you into me, growing off of your energy. But when a sun dies, it becomes a black-hole. I was sucked in. I was crushed. When you blackened, I lost my sun - not my love. Now I pray that I can shine upon you. I dream that we could shine together - for I love you - now and always, my sun.
