Towards The Light (Poetry)

When I am gone don’t wallow in regret
for all those things we never got to do
or draw the curtains — rather you should let
the sunset’s final rays come shining through

Don’t seek the shadows — you won’t find me there
for spirits follow paths towards the light
transformed to perfect beings made of air
in realms beyond the range of human sight

Although you may not see me anymore
you’ll feel my presence always by your side
Love doesn’t stop but goes on as before
sent travelling across the great divide

I swear it now by all that I hold good
I’ll find a way to send some kind of proof
don’t fear such signs might be misunderstood
believe your heart will recognise the truth

Be patient Love, for there will come a time
another day will dawn with promise bright
we’ll be as one — your hand again in mine
and I will guide your way towards the light
