LETTERS TO DESTINY © 2012
I weep for those who have departed,
In the longing that distance provokes,
Each memory is a sigh,
Each absence, a pain that invokes.
Distance transforms time,
Into an echo that never fades,
And the heart, filled with memories,
Feels the absence like a wound that pervades.
But amid the tears and longing,
There is also a love that does not fade,
For those who have departed live on,
In the memories that the heart has made.
I weep for them, not for their distance,
But because my love for them runs deep,
And even though distance may separate us,
They remain, eternal, in my heart to keep.
