We walk around on this pluvious day
In remembrance of the strong hearted
Whom everyday fought a great battle
But this disease is why they departed.
We gather with tears to a ceremonial reminiscence
Listening to the lost voices in the wind
Melancholy songs are sung to those we miss
Uniting us to words so mellifluous.
Candles are lit to remind us of souls
Who so bravely overlooked their world with a smile
We stand in a one minute silence
Where your spirit enters my mind for a while.
I stare into the candle and see more than a flame
Feel more than warmth, feel more than sadness
I see an energy conflating with mine, a smile with a smile
A tear with a tear, a light with a sickness I yearn for madness.
We sit and lay conversing with one another
About little things in life, about interests, sharing stories
But when the chatter dies down and my heart feels kind
I can feel your beautiful spirit
Walk freely in my mind.
