Farewell, Sister

Sorry if I caused distress to anyone with my
last poem. I had been on on a heavy dose
of morphine for pain ,and had a nightmarish
dream.  A phone call informed me that my
sister died of a massive stroke.  Thank you
for your concern,and sharing my grief.

~*~

The bile rises up like
a volcano ready to erupt
the throbbing left temple
causing the eye to squint
reminiscent of migraine
ripples of blood dance
across my eyes in crimson
waves,and the body shivers
like shake of an earth quake

all the talk of faith,all the
previous deaths that have
gone before, don't matter for
each one is unique and has its
own special remembrances
and so we  suffer  travall
through the mourning period

Farewell dear sister,I entrust
you into the care of the One
who will assist your journey
to a better place,where we will
once again be united,when it is
my turn to make the same trip
knowing love peace and happiness
await us in Creator's paradise~~~

From what I know of stroke, often it is much better to die of one than to survive, trapped in a body that doesn't work.

My best wishes as you face life ever more challenging and alone.

Very sorry for your loss and pain. I did not find your last poem disturbing. We all have our ups and downs and how awesome it is to be able to spin emotions into verses.
I like your healthy outlook on things. Yes, your sis is in a better place and she'll be there waiting for ya.
No hurry though, you're needed here on earth!

Love,
Becca~

ET, I don't think nobody was offended, hurt or disturbed by anything you has to say, and apologies aren't necessary, because you are one of ours, one of the family.
Your sister lost affects us all because it affects you, and our thoughts and prayers are going to you in this moments of sorrow.
We will be for you, always here.

You have my sympathy and know it will be hard for you but you will get through it and keep strong for the rest of the family. We are so sad when loved ones die, but they are in no pain and up with the heavenly father in Heaven to a more beautiful land. Surely you need comfort too and hopefully someone in your family or a close friend will stand by your side and give you comfort too. Take care, and prayers for you too.
