Clock keeps ticking

We all are waiting

For the inevitable,

Though our minds know,

But our hearts still

Not able to accept,

Not able to

Say our final goodbyes

To the woman

Who has been a constant

Fixture in our lives.

We watch her shallow breathing,

Her once expressive eyes closed,

An angelic smile on her face,

Her soul trying to leave

Her fragile earthly body.

We are all gathered

With tears i...

Silence is very loud and deafening -

It is when your heart and mind are

filled with all the feelings and thoughts

that were never made into words,

that never had a chance to be shared;

These thoughts and feelings pile up

and can very slowly break you into pieces

And take you in a very lonely path....
