Nighttime Flows

My daydreams

have been violent and cruel

as the night that took your breath away.


With beauty

and

Vengeance,

there is nothing more awesome

than the bursting bright lights above us.


A lantern with which I make shadows,

my hands, to speak with you

Reminiscent of the years as Children

we used to play.


There is love, and then there's sorrow-

A brilliant jet crow, cunning and malicious

it remembers those who've done a wrong

or showed cruelty towards it.


It glitters in its mirth

grows dull when it's tired, time to sleep.


how lonely is the time

when you begin

to fall

through

the


cracks


people forget the stories of you, and their memories.


You are alive with us on this Earth

in the stories people say,

and the words that sound so longing.


Here where you are not, we attempt to fathom where you went,

and what it looks like where you


are


We fight over concepts we do not know

and suffer the vagueness of it.


There are dreams where you are here

when you can comfort those who grieve and mourn

your

  physical


         shape


it is calming

that your essence will always linger

as long as we


remember


the love in our soul for you.


I hope it brings you peace

that we think of you

and the advice you've given.


We call to you to give us strength

we hope to know that you do not feel these heavy


damp


emotions

in your new form.


Your new shape

that we can only perceive as

a shadow in our minds taking  flight

and watching over our


murder
