In Memory of Damon

The sights and sounds of what’s around slowly fade away
A flood of precious memories return from yesterday
Encircling me and moving past, like a fast approaching tide
I catch a ride on one of them as I turn inside
The world outside seems so far off
Like a bustling distant land
Here is where you hold my heart
And I your little hand
My lips stay sealed, but my heart speaks
Of the love I have for you
When I come here, I feel you near
Wistful…but it’s true
No weight of being, no encumbrance of sorrow
Just surrounded by love with hope for tomorrow
Then the return of sight and sound
Brings me back to the place you left
The tide recedes, but the affect profound
Poignant memories of a family bereft
A pensive journey of the heart and mind
What I have there, here I cannot find
Tears of the soul in searching for peace
Are nurtured by faith and a love that won’t cease.
