In Memory

In the midst of life
There is a death
And sadness
Flows
Unhindered
By time
Or distance
A goodbye
To an earthly form
A pain
Sorrow
Grief
Without limit
Flows through those
Who knew
Those
Of whom
She was a part
For who
She remains
A huge part
She has not
Gone from them
She lives
Within their hearts
Their memories
Is felt
In the air
The breeze
Seen in the sunlight
Heard
In the trees' whispers
The birdsong
Her beauty
Unfaded
Seen
In the flowers
Of meadow and garden
She is not gone
She lives
Forever
