"The End Of a Life Cycle"

by Amber "V" Moonstone     6/9/08

There are times to speak
and there are times to stay silent;
This is the time to tell you
I understand...

During this time of grief and sadness,
The darkest hours will grab a hold of you,
Sadness will be by your side,
and tears will flow like the river.

Your comfort will come from the knowledge
that it will get better,
you will survive this loss,
And you will be stronger.

Losing a loved one,
seems like the end of your life,
but in reality,
it is just the end of a life cycle.

Natural circles,
transform our lives,
Enhance this Earth,
and finishes journeys.

No matter how sad you feel,
life will go on,
and it is your duty to carry on,
fulfilling your chosen destiny.

I walked among a chosen people,
felt the energy of powerful spirits,
I am not afraid to die,
For now I know, spirits do live on.

I wish for you,

Peace,

          Love,

                  Light,

and the power of healing from this death.

author's notes:  Early yesterday morning, I was informed that two of my best friend's mothers had passed away, almost at the exact same time.  I dedicate this poem to Karen and Chris, and send my love, and healing energy to them at this hour of their grief and sadness.
