Fighting Tears

Beyond the shores of thought and reason,
The seas of emotion suddenly swell
Tempest clouds roar without season,
Growing the gloom with every decibel

I crouch in despair and shrink with grief
Fighting tears with each rasping breath
What would you say if you were here,
If you could forsake the veil of death

How do I know if you are in a better place,
That there you no longer feel any pain,
That you watch over us from across the space,
That you have found your place in God's domain

Did the old familiar voices of wise ancestors
Welcome you back with warmth and love?
Beyond the bondage of all wordly matters
Have you found your freedom in heavens above?

Memories, they meet me in silence
Time, the eater of worlds now consumes my peace
What you took along and what you left behind,
Now holds us together and comforts like a breeze

Life will go on with this burden to bear,
My heart will heal but will it be the same?
I harbor happy memories of all that we shared,
Your words in my thoughts and pictures in frames

All the legends and tales of the other side,
Oh, how I wish now for them to be true!
I pray and surmise what I once denied,
For someday again I will get to see you

In a place somewhere that is off the map
Where I can choose to be a child once more,
Feeling cheerful and safe, sitting on your lap
Innocent and happy, contented forevermore

How's it going for you?

That there you no longer feel any pain,
That you watch over us from across the space,
That you have found your place in God's domain

This is really deep. A question that sometimes I ask myself.
Do dead people really watch over their loved ones?
So many mysteries that we cannot explain

This world is filled with mysteries that are so hard to explain.. I guess we ain't meant to understand what happens in the land of the dead until we find ourselves there..

We will surely understand it better by and by

It's takes perseverance to bear the pains of life. Be persevere, don't let fear which means force experience appearing real push you to cry.
Am writing this as a piece of advice to those reading this poem because someone might have gone through any of this.

You are right.. It's all about being strong. Life will throw a lot at us including taking our loved ones from us but we shouldn't let that make us lose focus in life. Everything happens for a reason.

Thanks so much for your feedback

We pine for our love ones who have departed. We can only pray that they are in a better place.

That's the prayer.. Finding out they are in a better place will make it less painful I think...

Thanks for your feedback

Very good poem is a little strong, sometimes you have to go through the pain to move forward, very nice friend greetings =)

Thanks so much for your honest feedback.. I appreciate. Pain makes us stronger
