This To Shall Pass

If there is any truth to the idiom
"All good things must come to an end",
Then the conclusion of a life is inevitable.
Sadness?
Yes. This is a common spell that is cast
By life that is no longer.
Tears?
They represent the free flowing emotions
We constantly try to contain during our grieving.
But tears of pain can be transformed
Into tears of joy if we continue to believe
That a single memory is enough to resurrect the dead.
Death is merely the beginning of a life that exists
As a memory.
Focus on the memories.
Cherish them.
For they represent the fortune bequeathed by the Spirit
In the will written in the language of time.
Allow yourself to travel freely through the years
And pay homage to your loved one;
For this is the process necessary
If the memory is to fill the void in your heart.
And as you grow weary from dealing with
Your new found forlornness,
Take strength in knowing that in time...
This to shall pass.
