Eternally
Between the tears falling like soft rain
On a bed crisp, sterile and white
Their conversation was trapped eternally
in the glare of fluorescent white light…
She said: "I shall perish without you!"
He said: "In your heart I never will die."
She said: "I beg of you…baby don’t leave me."
He said: "Oh baby I’ll love you always, don’t cry."
She said: "Who will bring me my morning sunshine?"
He said: "I’ll send it to you each day from the sky."
She said: "Baby please just let me go with you."
He said: "Dear one someday together with angels we'll fly,"
Sadly she watched his breathing turn shallow
She held his hand as he breathed his last sigh
Now she hoards away all their past memories
Until that day when she learns how to fly…

in our lives to be witness to ascension
and the birth of death is such special
spiritual experience-even through abundant sorrows
your poem reveals such beauty in a lover's last breath

But formal finesse aside, the sense of the piece is a pair
of hearts beating as one, the sorrow of loss cannot eclipse
the certain solace of a consummation devoutly held.
Your images stir up much more than mere sentiment as they
commemorate a settled love that slips the surly bonds of
earth to measure the true worth of its undying nature.
So beautiful and tears at the heart. Soon they will be reunited in heaven.
