Sorrow’s Gentle Repose

Another one for my son. May you rest in peace, Jakob. I miss and love you more than words….

- Sorrow is a path, we often bear alone,
A souls moving through shadows, where heartache is shown.

- Memories of love, over time may feel small,
As whispers of what was, arrange sorrowful call.

- Grief is the pain of love with nowhere physical to land,
A longing that persists, on heartache unplanned.

- It's the weight of what's missing, a burden so profound,
- A reminder of love that’s irreplaceable, nor knows any bound.

- In silent moments alone, my thoughts swallow me whole,
I feel as though I am drifting, losing control.

- Yet in this vast silence, an almost gentle repose,
My thoughts down on paper, my only comfortable place to disclose.

- Through my bleakest of days, I’ll covet our memories from the past,
Always cherish the love between us, that will forever last.

- For in my heart's depths, our love is safely tucked away,
And I’ll linger on each memory of your face, like those on any other day.
