You Lived Gloriously [revised] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Intense you lived, and fast - drinking deep of life's cup;
curious, bubbly, bright - enjoying the marvel of feelings
alight in sensuousness, you are an exquisite butterfly
shedding the cocoon of physical life to discover new
dimensions, ascending harmonic scales of your own
flowing music resounded melodiously in your poetry

You were never engrossed in materiality, reaching for
life's philosophical mysteries, studying consciousness;
you lived passionately, abandoning yourself to free-
flowing emotions of the present - of experiencing Life
and living it gloriously; you're now facing the deepest
mystery of all, leaving the husk of an earthly body

To be reborn consciousness forever of you in a new
and exciting form of being - and I shall find you there,
we share this wavelength yours and mine, where your
lucid honesty's joyous wonderment shines, charming my
spirit with your affection and love - I'll easily find you
there, you won't be alone, not with me as your friend….

The Wavelength We Share

You lived fast, intense, drinking deep from the
cup of life, curious, bright, bubbling - enjoying
the marvel of feelings and floating on sensitive
delight, your a beautiful butterfly shedding this
cocoon called physical life in order to discover
new dimensions, climbing the harmonic scales
of your own music in resounding melody

You had no interest in material things, researching
life's mysteries & philosophy to study consciousness
held your attention, passionately you abandoned your-
self to free-flowing emotions in the present moment;
you lived gloriously, experiencing Life: now you're
facing the deepest mystery of all, leaving the husk
that is just an earthly body we leave behind - and

Allowing your forever-consciousness to be reborn
into a new, exciting form of being - and I shall find
you there - on our wavelength, yours and mine, the
wavelength we share, where your lucid honesty &
joyous wonderment will shine charming my spirit
with your affection and love - I shall always find
you there, you won't ever be alone, not with me

As your friend….
