Home

I watched your flame

Burn bright

For most of your life.

---

I saw as the world

Slowly snuffed it out.

Only a small pile

Of ashes remained

---

I missed seeing the sparkle

In your eyes.

---

I use to watch you

Closely as you slept

Throughout the night,

Until the day

You began to pull away.

---

My child,

Where have you gone?

Don’t you know

I will always be

Your home?

---

Alone I sat,

With my memories of you.

A tingle down in my soul,

Brought me back.

I saw your eyes

From afar.

There it shown

Once more.

---

Life filled your lungs.

Magic flowed like

A river from your bones.

---

My name escaped finally

From your lips.

You called me in,

Welcoming me.

Now, in your soul I rest,

Forever, until death.
