Bind Your Tears
~~~
Do not cry for me, dear friend
Let not sorrow rule the day
Life chimes, now at its end
And my body has gone away
~~~
I travel now, a different path
In a world you cannot see
Spirit sheds the mortal plane
Soul finally set free
~~~
I have returned to the start
My universal home
And you are there within my heart
As this larger realm I roam
~~~
And I still with you, in everything
In every cloud, each stone and tree
When you need to feel me close
Just look and you’ll find me
~~~
I am thankful for my mortal time
And all the love you made me feel
And though my face seen differently
I am no less me and no less real
~~~
Now, bind your tears with my love
Share my joy that I lived well
I have found my cosmic heaven
And your sadness, my only hell
~~~

The last two verses are incredibly beautiful and so very true! Wonderful work my friend!
Thank you Francisco! I always appreciate your support.
Always my friend!
I am seldom at a loss for words. I am not at a loss now, rather, feel like I could let my brain and heart take over my fingers and write here for a long time! I want to copy this and put it with my “important” papers for you to sort through when I am gone, so that your very own words can bring you comfort. The realization that our sadness at a person’s passing is “hell” for them hurts.
It is hard to accept that our sadness at the end of someone’s mortal life is selfish, but alas we are being sad for ourselves. Love you, sis! As for sorting through your things, the race is still on….
Reblogged this on Ramblings and Ruminations and commented:
My brother once again aims for the nail and hammers it with one swing!
Thanks sis!
beautiful and a wish from the one from the past to help the one who is left behind
Thanks Beth!
Brad, this brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful.
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
This one made me cry. You captured this so perfectly! Truly loving someone means letting them go, the pain of their loss is a reminder that the love was real. “What is grief if not love persevering?” – Vision to Wanda in the show “WandaVision.”
Thanks Kristian!
Very deep, Beautifully written
Thank you!
I certainly hope that is what it is like when my body finally gives up. And I hope those left behind remember the good things we shared…
Fear not, your blog is full of loving reminders. Thanks you, Jim!
👍
I don’t want my friends to feel a lot of sadness after I pass. Have a drink, tell a few funny stories, and remember the good parts.
I think that is what we all hope for, but rarely witness. Thank you, Pete!
