Meditation

To Anthony – One Year On

I am thinking of last times –

Of days when you were with us –

Seen through a comforting haze of memory.

For you were large in Life,

Tall in stature and in Presence.

Your going seems like annihilation

To those you’ve left behind – in this domain –

This earthly plane of bodily existence.

How long will sadness be

The cloth that tailors all my days?

Your memory is wrapped in a cocoon of longing –

For Life . . .  to be . . . otherwise –

Yet . . . knowing . . . that . . . your . . . Spirit . . . flies –

‘Now’

Though one year on – from your demise.

Be at peace, Son.  Love always!
