A careful yet genuine laugh
A loving whisper near my bedside
Words I'll always cherish
Your last message for me
I smile as you hold my hand
A calming soul
Guiding me forward
I'm safe to move on now
The noise around me fades
I close my eyes
Your gentle presence staying with me
I grasp onto the key
And open the door
Beyond the entryway, I see it
The light
Arriving, finally
The flying ship come to take me home
Home to the sky
I let it carry me
Hold me in its arms
As you so caringly did
Thank you
Now I'm ready
Ready to move on
I lift a hand, and turn the well-worn page
Ready to begin the next chapter
To transcend my mind
To find peace
Find love
Light

A beautiful message sent in most poetic form. Indeed turn loose of those things that hold you back and bound and embrace those that free you.
Thank you for the beautiful words, sorenbarrett! Yes, reach for the ones that strengthen you. 🙂
