Brushed up against a memory,
wind I felt yet did not see.
Thoughts of you flooding my mind,
so tightly held they now unwind.
Upside down twist the hourglass,
once again let memories pass.
Each grain of sand a speck in time,
together grandiose sublime.
Turned the corner on past the why?
remembrances still make me cry.
In my chest I still feel you near,
with every heartbeat you are here.
Creep into my mind and caress,
my disguised pain and loneliness.
Empty place once shared with glee,
my first born son not here with me.
Heavenly traveler that you be,
now living life eternally.
You are in my thoughts today,
everyday since you went away.
