Grief

When I look up,

I know you are here, there, and everywhere

I see you

In the silence of the dark night,

In the light of the stars

In the shape of the moon

In the spark of the fire

In the wave of the wind in the trees

In my dreams, when you appear.

 

You have never left this earth

Even though your physical body did.

I feel your presence everywhere.

 

I  know we are small creatures

On this gigantic round ball called earth

 

When I look up,

I think….

We are all just like sand particles on the beach of life

 

Particles that shine in the sunlight

and are warm to the touch

together, surviving near the beauty of water

Insignificant on our own, but powerful together

 

When I look up,

I miss you, and yet, I see you here, there and everywhere.
