I recently came across a poem I wrote a couple of years ago to honor my aunt when she passed away. I always felt an affinity with her, but we didn't get to visit often since she lived in another state. She had a sensitive heart and shared my love for the beauty of the desert. I rarely write poetry and I don't usually post it so this is a vulnerable post about a vulnerable time. I hope it brings feelings of connection, comfort, and nostalgia for someone you have lost.
To my beloved aunt
Dear one:
I would meet with you
in a space beyond space
in a time beyond time
where we could be together,
...uncaring...unfettered...free.
beyond pain
beyond illness
beyond worry
beyond our sorrows and our cares.
We could just be together
in knowing
in understanding
in compassion.
Without words
without boundaries
without anything...
except the two of us
our souls; knowing,
understanding
and communicating.
Without words
without boundaries
without time.
In a space beyond space
and a time beyond time.
Together;
the way we were always meant to be.
