TESTIFY


















































TESTIFY

on this day
today, yes, this very day
spirit left body
slipped suddenly
like rush
mad
opening
spinning through vortex
to re
turn
to the universe
to rest

no eyes
nor ears
present
to testify at its pass...
ing
she journeyed
alone
only weeping bodies left behind
folding
softly
in the wind

we curse light
not darkness
where she goes
i fear
i cannot go
she whispers in my ear at 3 am in the morning
"i'm free"
i smell her scent when i wake
to begin again
where she goes
i fear
i cannot go

with her hands
sullen eyes
and her freckles lining my face
i am here
now
to testify
where she goes
i fear
i cannot go

rest now
in the light
go safely
i am here now
to testify

she listens...she watches over you, sits upon your shoulder blades.

there arent any words that i can say here, just know that i am here, and i am receiving you, like empaths do.

Sorry about the loss of your mother.

Very heartfelt and meaning poem and tattoo.

Once again, sorry to hear.

I had to come back and check this post out - it still has that same spiritual effect that it had when I first read it.

The mark of a fascinating writer who speaks from the soul, I'd say....shine girl, shine.
