Where Dreams Take Me

             Uncle Evan stood right beside me all those years

Let me dream of things from long ago,
Let my mind tonight wander and go,
Back to the old places I have been,
To be with the one who's now unseen.

May I dream of you as the moon ascends,
Let us share laughter before the night ends,
Grant this longing heart just one brief moment,
To have vision of you alive and present.

Let me hear your serious but hilarious joke,

Amuse this sad heart that your passing once broke,

Teach me your skills and tips on how to cook,

Or anything I won't learn from any book.

Dreams reopen the portal built in between,

To possibly see all that we have been, 

To experience former things once again,

To be with someone I have been missing.

 

To where you are, dreams would assure me to take,

Though reality unfolds the morning I wake,

But imaginations could never lessen ache,

Because your memory is my heart's keepsake.  

Loneliest

The loneliest road I'll always take, 

Is the one that leads me to your grave,

I come to see and touch once again,

Only your tombstone and picture frame.

The loneliest words I tearfully read,

Are the verses of your epitaph engraved,

The well-carved inscription that sadly states

In loving memory of someone great.

I’ve known what ‘loneliest’ means when you’re gone,

The world has wept in loss of a good man,

But that happens when life’s purpose is done,

Your soul returns to our Creator’s hand. 

just missing my Uncle Evan who died 4 months ago :( 

LET ME WEEP

Just let me weep, allow my tears to flow,

In grief of something I can’t let go,

Let it cleanse my eyes from sorrow,

For pain to subside somehow I know.

If I mourn, let me have it all released,

Shedding tears is to feel quite at ease,

For a heart that’s occupied with sadness,

Let me give it some space to breathe.

Let me sob, let me pour the pain inside,

Down my cheeks let my lonely tears glide,

Let me show what I cannot dare to hide,

Though a hundred times I have really tried.

I smile and laugh to forget the heartache,

With happy friends around, I don’t feel weak,

But when silence comes, let me just weep,

Alone in the dark, I cry myself to sleep.

"missing you, cle evan" :(
