Loss As Prophet

Death is something
Only the living
Have to deal with
Those who've passed
Are busy being reborn
As the morning dew
On fertile flowers
That grace our souls
With the renaissance of smell
Some are just too beautiful
To be confined to a body
They are meant to be shared
They are among the mist
That makes the clouds
For to rain upon us purely peace
They are in the very air
That we breathe
And each breath
Each and every breath
Divine
They moved us through their existence
Now their existence moves through us
Because they shared with us
A life of love
We now live our lives
With love to share.
