"Shadow of Loss"

~ In Loving Memory of Sharon...

It

 is hard to sing

 of  Oneness when our world is not Complete,

when those who once brought Wholeness 

to our Life have gone,

and nothing but Memory

can fill the emptiness

their Passing leaves behind.

But Memory

can tell us only what we were,

in company

with those we Loved;

it can not help us find what each 

of us,

alone,

must now become.

Yet no one is really alone;

those who live no more echo still within

our Thoughts and Words,

and what they did is a part

 of what we have Become.

We do best homage to our dead

when we live  our lives most Fully,

even in the Shadow

of our

Loss.
