Based on an experience I had a few days ago when heading to the first of our Holy Week events, but I thought it was appropriate for Holy Saturday, and I dedicate it to all those dealing with bereavement and loss, whether recent or from long ago.
I saw you walking away
From me today,
As I have done quite often
In recent weeks.
I wanted to follow you,
To catch you up
With all that’s been happening
Since you left us.
I long for your perspective.
To hear your voice,
Its accent, wise words, laughter
And silences.
But you have stayed silent friend
For far too long.
You went on ahead of us,
And I miss you.
Selah
