What Once Was Poem by Lora Colon

He was my window to Springtime,
His love, like a soft wind, kept me warm,
His kiss delivered the sun's promise
To chase away the bitter storm

He was a song I kept humming,
Love's melody playing in my head,
Tumbling like dried leaves in Autumn's wind,
Like the leaves, the music's now dead

He was everything my heart needs
For this journey through life's misery,
He blazed the pathway, clearing the trail,
As I ventured forth, fearlessly

He was a calm wave on my sea
When sorrow tried to pull me under,
On swift wings, he vanquished the day's pain,
Then he filled my nights with wonder

He was the answer to my prayer
From a God I thought to be long dead,
O, how I rejoiced with renewed faith,
Now, I curse the deity instead

He was... but now he is no more,
Can you hear the message my heart bleeds?
Just an echo circling Heaven's door....
He was everything my heart needs
