Beyond the Veil of Sorrow

in #hive-1614652 days ago

It never fades, no matter the time,
Years drift by, like voices of rhyme,
Yet it feels like only yesterday,
When you were taken far away.
I tried to let the memories go,
But sorrow lingers, deep and slow.

After you joined the ancestors' embrace,
I was left with an empty space,
Trading in sorrow day by day,
Wishing the pain would drift away.
I hope you've found the glorious light,
As your soul ascended into the night.

Your picture still hangs on the wall,
A reminder that shatters us all,
For even in its silent frame,
The hurt remains, the grief the same.
Your love for the children held so strong,
But now it haunts us, echoes long.

Around the compound, you still roam,
A presence that chills our very home.
It frightens us, like death’s cold hand,
You must leave, you need to understand.
Not even in dreams, should you appear,
The weight of your loss is too severe.

We hear your silent plea to stay,
To watch your children, come what may.
But, dear one, it’s time to go,
You’ve done enough, more than you know.
Rest now, release, and let us be,
We will carry your love, eternally.

Stop appearing, we beg you so,
In the peace of night, please let us grow.
Your time to guard has reached its end,
Now let our broken hearts mend.
Though we miss you more than words can tell,
You must now bid this world farewell.

Well, I was surprised how it went, initially I thought it was about conveying longing and sadness that came from a love one that passed, reminiscing, then it turned into a ghost story. Anyway, it was beautiful as it was haunting and sentimental, the twist halfway was a nice touch.

Thanks for stopping by. It's actually about the loss of the loved one. A dearest person. person, she was like a mother. I just painted her image.
