The sun still shines
The grass still grows
The clouds still travel
The river still flows….
Like he never left.
Time still moves,
The song is still sung,
The love is still strong…
Like he never left.
The test is still passed,
The children are born,
The home still warm…
Like he never left.
The wedding bells still chime
The carpentry still divine
His personality now mine….
Like he never left.
The longing undying,
The questions unanswered,
The perception unknown,
The pride unshown…
Nothing was left.
The wind that whispers,
The song that shines,
The creak on the staircase,
The loud bang, undefined…
Like he never left.
The warmth in your heart,
The courage in your hour,
The sun in your blues,
The sudden gift of power,
The noise in your silence,
The hug in the breeze,
The flicker of light,
When you’re on your knees….
He never left.
