My Guiding Light
The anticipation of a conversation
a moment’s pause, a heart’s sensation
An expectation of words unsaid
A binding connection, a delicate threadThe fabric was woven, the story was told
a legacy kept, forever to hold
A journey of words, a longing to know became a tapestry rich, a narrative to growThe art of conversation, a gentle guide
leading me through the labyrinth of time
To listen to memories, a heart’s treasure a mind’s archive, a soul’s measureAll that you were and the joy you spread became part of me, of who I am
Reflections of my younger days your voice, your presence, your beautiful faceOur memories, an album of distant times
keeps the joy of better days alive
Reluctant to embark on unknown paths
comfort comes from waves of our pastYour existence upon which I became
was a guide, a light, so much more than name
The courage you showed throughout your life
echoes deep within the depths of my mindIn that stillness, I found my voice
A sense of clarity, a heartfelt choice
The silence beckoned, I found my way
to a place of peace, where love will stayVoting is open!

Jody, I am so sorry for your loss. Your poem is truly inspiring and I enjoyed it. My favorite part of this would have to be when you said “Your existence upon which I became was a guide, a light, so much more than name.” A person can truly guide us in many different life directions, so we must surround ourselves with people who inspire us to be better! Amazing work.
