Soulmate

I had a person like that. Karen. I actually did a writing about her.

When we met I knew we would be friends forever

Your acceptance of me circled my senses

Your laughter, light and merry

like wind chimes in the breeze

You knew my thoughts before I did

and often words of caution or joy accompanied.

Our time together was of laughter and tears.

Meals shared and walks taken.

Phone calls many and adventures galore.

Planning of aged, in chairs on the porch

with glasses of spirits and other friend visits.

Rocking and talking of all that we were

Knowing my friend, you would always be near

Setting next to the fire one clear night,

hearing you say “I went to the doctor, I will be going away.”

Shock and pain filled my being, my tears running free

while holding your hand and feeling the heat.

Tests and procedures, chemo and more

Denying goodbye until it's too late...

your absence a crater, I still don't accept.

I miss you still with many years gone

With only your memory to help keep me strong.

She is a person I still grieve for. There are a few that I have not healed from. I am finding being on my own, now that I have quit trying to work my pain away that there are several things I still need to heal from. It is like peeling an onion. You get through one layer and another one is there, making you cry all over again. In the meantime, I try and be happy...

Have a satisfying Saturday and enjoy your weekend!
