i am not gone

My girlfriend of 48 years let me know this morning that her mom passed away, yesterday. I've known this woman since I was ten years old,she was as a second mother to me, while growing up. I wrote this for Sharon.


i am not gone
where the sun is sucked into the seas
and darkness meets them both,
where mountains kiss the clouds
and trees stretch to become a part of it;
at the very rim of life, itself, to which
we travel only once, this is where
you will again discover me.
where flowers grow wild and rainy winds blow,
where the moon waltzes with stars,
in canyons whose walls are stained with the 
light of a coral sunrise, where clear and icy cold 
creek waters race from the beginning 
to the end of their paths, so shalli 
wait there for you.
iwill live on, in the love of your hearts
iwill brush the hair from your fevered brows
and whisper your names in your ears.
love me, feel me nearby and hear my voice,
but live on, as the living do; I am not gone,
just patiently waiting for you.
