A Poem by Wonderland Asylum

This poem is not written by me.  I got permission to use this on my account here. The authors link will be at the bottom
Death stops by to remind us 
how beautifully fragile life is 
and with her 
you have gone away 
and yet you are still here 
in the quite moments
between my heart beat 
and the silent space 
between the tears falling 
and I can still feel the warmth 
of your laughter 
and still hear the comfort 
of your voice 
I know not where you have gone 
or if we will meet again 
so what luck it was 
what a privilege it has been 
to have had you in it
my beautiful friend

Just beautiful - sometimes life happens and you are only allowed to be part of another’s for a set space and time for learning or teaching or just sharing love of heart - but no matter the distance you will always be united through the threads of eternity and spirit- wonderful words 🌹

Thank you for read requesting me on Akira's amazing poem. This is one of the best poems I've read about death. I don't go for overly dreary painful suffering poems about death. This one is a celebration, both of going thru the necessary sad feelings & embracing the joyful gift of knowing the deceased for the time that one gets to be a part of that life. I didn't realize this until much later in life, but most relationships don't last as long as we wish they could -- so why not celebrate? (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Usually I find that people who share other's poetry under their name do so simply for selfish promotional reasons. I don't think you did that here.

Regardless of all that bullshit, I'm glad you shared this. It's a worthy collection of words, truly.

You should write something of your own on the topic of what you just shared... it's only half of a good tribute if you don't build something of your own from it.

You are right dear friend. With old age we learn. Death take when death wants. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Death makes you broken inside by stealing someone you love and was hoping they will walk with you for few more decades. Death leaves you stranded on never ending land of sorrow.
Akira Chinen painted the pain of loss perfectly. Well done.
