This is Not Good-bye
As you close your eyes
And your last breath is gone
In the many lives you’ve touched
Your love light lives on
Yes, there will be a void
Where you used to be
But I know it’s you
In the sunrise I now see
Your spirit ever brighter
Your touch all the more you
You’re in the depths of my heart
Even the sunset shines of you too
In time I will adjust
To knowing life this way
I know God has called you home
As I cherish all your yesterdays
I’ll always remember
The love light in your eye
We’ll see each other again
This is not good-bye

Rest in paradise to the fallen poet and to all the lost lives with loved ones who read this wonderful piece.

My condolences on the passing of your loved one Bragee. I hope my poem brings peace and comfort for you in your grieving. Thank you for your visit and comment.
what a fitting tribute these words are to all those friends lost & in particular now, when MPS both remember & mourn our friend Kevin Browne, may he RIP

Thank you Neville for your comment and visit. Kevin is our friend here in MPS and in the afterlife.
Wonderful tribute AP, he was a very good poet and is missed on this site.
Andy
Kevin now writes in a higher plain of existence. Wouldn't you love to read his noters there? ; )
A sensitive tribute AP.
For a well deserving poet Orchi. Thanks for the read and comment.
Whatever your faith or belief i'm sure you'd agree that a person with such beauty inside is deserving of advancing to a better place. My belief hopes this for Kevin. Your words are a fine tribute to a man who showed us his heart.
I repeat here te comment i left yesterday to the post 'remembering a poet' by Laura.
Kevin was an extraordinary poet beyond doubt. He painted pictures with lines from his life and created emotional scenery.
Not always the easiest of poets to read, a man most definitely in touch with his life's emotional gains and losses who opened himself up before our eyes often painfully so. I think his work was mostly appreciated in its richness by those who had felt life's blows and resurrections. I have never seen any work comparable to his.
His writing is without doubt missed here on mps.
I do agree Kevin is deserving of a place in Heaven. He writes for a new audience now. Thanks for your reading and comment da.
Hi Accidental Poet
Thank you for that lovely tribute to Kevin.
It was a pleasure to connect with him via our poetry.
I'm sad and in shock at his untimely death.
Keep writing and safe during these challenging times.

Yes, I was in shock also at learning of his passing. Thanks for the read and comment.
Knowing how sick he was makes his last poems posted in MPS especially poignant. This final stanza of his January 14 "Diary Entry Number ..." is haunting:
This is my tear and this is what it cries
Around the block, around another bend
Another loss, another pain that never dies
A broken man, a broken heart he'd lend.
Indeed, Kevin was a rare individual. And we're all the better just for being here with him. Kevin was an inspiration to all who knew him. Thanks for the read and comment jarcher54.
A P,
A beautiful tribute for our beloved MPS poet. May he Rest In Peace!
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Laura for your entry of Kevin's passing. Otherwise I would not have known. I believe Kevin is now at peace and without pain.
Yes, I believe that also.
No more pain...only peace.
