In the Far Beyond
Remarkable how her beauty appeared in my dream
A long time since I caressed her cheeks, or saw
Her sweet smile responding with a radiant gleam,
Last night she returned in a strange mystical awe
Whispering consoling expressions of utter bliss
To assuage the loneliness of my nocturnal fretting
Tendering me an ethereal, magically proffered kiss,
When I was on the verge of regretfully forgetting
Her presence is still here with me, her soul so alive
Resplendent, illuminating – as only spirits can be,
Though the body returns to dust, spirit does thrive
Beyond the veil in an unknown realm I cannot see,
Bringing courage and strength for my will to survive
To know that in the far beyond we truly come alive.
