The silence of life

Nature

The memories they left
the love they left
is what kept us going
in their absence 

they crossed a bridge
that we cant follow 
they have now left this world
and entered the gates of heaven

their body no longer belongs to the world
but their soul is always guarding us
their love stays in our hearts
and the silence silences us.

We miss them more than life.

"If I can't be close to you,
I'll settle for the ghost of you"

    There is something lost in death when animation leaves the body cold. It is this something that this poem speaks of. Well done

              For those of us that value and breathe connection there are many ghosts that we carry with ourselves, like a bouquet of balloons πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ™πŸŽˆ

                    I agree with your Words entirely.
                    As long as we keep thinking of our loved ones: they are always with us.
                    Good Poem.
