Destiny's Face

RETROSPECT

I'd never seen auras before

He walked through darkened portal

Amid a yellow glow,

Like sunshine.

His brightness filled stale room,

His fragrance of fresh air

Infused it everywhere,

With his design.

I barely knew him yet

But felt his essence; knew

His specialness, though mortal:

So good, caring, strong and benign.

REVERIE

Now I see your face,

That face I love

Everywhere I look

It sets the mood.

I look behind that face

To gentleness of dove,

Clarity, perception,

A living prayer.

Behold a face

Echoes angels' songs

And seagulls wings,

Bright memories, ever there.

Behold the face to which

My heart belongs

And fills my heart with joy

And all that's good.

His fragrance lingers

On my shoulders,

Kisses tease

My lips,

Gentle fingers

Caress my face,

Leave a trace of him.

Though it’s only in my mind,

His essence lifts

My waking dreams.

You would be glad and proud

To know I face

My mortal life remaining

Courageously with joy

As you faced yours.

Spirits intertwined

Face immortality as one,

And ever remind

It is as was begun right here

Before you went ahead.

Never alone nor lonely

Ever open to life's fullness

To share, even now -

The miracle of Life between us,

Each where each is.

I visualize your face and know -

It is transformed, not dead.

Because you cared

I can still go on and fully live.

Without it,

I would surely wither.

The dying sun releases

Almost every trace

Of day's transcendence,

As night descends

To affix these memories

Upon Time's tireless wheel

On which to write, to feel again

The never-ending story ~

Life.
