A friend just passed...

...but, the funny thing is I am not sad. I feel overjoyed for her because she is in true spirit. Huh! I guess I'm a spiritual grown up! lol

Anyway, I wrote this poem in honor of her.

Celebration Of A Passing

If we cry when we are born
shouldn't we laugh when we die
because the beauty of the sky
just got brighter with me in it?

If I am free of pain
and my body is the same
as it was before the rain
then why should you cry?

Believe that I am with you
Hold onto the memories,
good and bad,
because only in those moments
did we truly live

Celebrate us
and all the smells, sights and sounds
that remind you
and realize the blessing,
not the loss

I am spirit now
lighting the winds
blowing by
as I whisper in your ear
the same as always

I am light now
shining,
illuminating your love
with my soul print
stamping it on your heart
forever

As the sun beams down
and the autumn leaves fall
when the snow pours white
and the fever of spring tickles you
I will be there
loving you as always
