She sits at the foot of my bed


Late at night, as sleep leaves me


She smiles gently nodding her head


Warm understanding that greets me


Silver hair freshly brushed


Soft light adorning her there


Then as my eyes begin to clear


Her scent lingering all around


She is gone leaving me wondering


Was I dreaming or was she just visiting


Heart racing, so sure of my gaze


Leaves me confused my mind in a haze


For she’s been gone from this world


For many years now it seems


Was she there or was she merely a dream?


Who can say, who can know?


Only the heart and God


Only the heart and God

Poem Artwork

For years after my great grandmother died I would wake in the middle of the night and see her there. A soft light surronding her, surreal yet very real.
