(lost)

when will you be real? (who are you now?) 

i knew you once. we talked while the moon smiled

(she was listening).  but i don’t know who

you are now (does the moon know?) i ask you

to talk to me and you hide (you go inside). you lock

the doors, create someone new (i’m still here).

and silence (silence speaks). i walk into the sky

to search for you (that’s where you would hide), but

(still) you won’t be found. i was here (i think i was),

but you turned me into lost, too (lost).

  1. Sigh. I know this, all too well. It takes me back to the hallow feeling when I was married.

        Hello Ms. Sarah,

        I am not sure whether or not you are the one who wrote the wonderful story “My Little Girl’s Angel,” from the ‘Angels Among Us’ book of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. The story, however, touched my heart and soothed my soul in a very positive way.

        Best regards,

          Thank you so much. Yes, that was me :) . I am glad that you found that story and that it was meaningful to you. The whole experience was very meaningful to me, and angels have been with me many times since then. Thank you for your kind words. Take care.

            There are so many things that we don’t want to happen, but we have to accept. There are so many people whom we cannot live without, but we have to let go. Deep sadness penetrated my heart and my eyes filled with tears of regret for your great loss of Kim. She was no doubt taken to Heaven by 2 wings: death and love. But she did not die, she lives in the heart she left behind, the heart of a lovely mother who expressed her love beyond death for the most important piece of her.

            Visiting you in a form of mist, she was in fact trying to reassure you that while you were still mourning her great loss, others were rejoicing to meet her behind the veil and that she was doing well in Heaven where there is no pain at all. Death is not extinguishing light, it is putting out the lamp because dawn has already come. Her dawn has come no doubt.

            Blessings,
            Hamza
