There is a peacefulness
A stillness
With death
That I never thought was there
Witnessing your last breath was the most
Earth shattering thing
The loudest moment of silence
GRIEF is not peaceful
It is pain and hurt and blackness
But that transition of planes;
Mimicking eagle's wings
The ocean's gentle tides
There was a peacefulness with your death
And God,
Do I miss you

There is a peacefulness
A stillness
With death
That I never thought was there
Witnessing your last breath was the most
Earth shattering thing
The loudest moment of silence
GRIEF is not peaceful
It is pain and hurt and blackness
But that transition of planes;
Mimicking eagle's wings
The ocean's gentle tides
There was a peacefulness with your death
And God,
Do I miss you
