I Speak Your Name

Soft as a feather, your name
Touches my lips,
My mind, my heart.
Bittersweet
Feelings of love
And loss fill me suddenly.
Joy, I’ve found at last,
Is touched by sadness
And emptiness without you. And yet,
I live.
I breathe and go on,
as best I can. Bravely.
I dream of conversations
And escapades
Though now just memories.
So real for a moment.
I cry for myself.
The helplessness is terrifying
And cruel.
The quiet thunders in my ears.
Memories of a smile,
A look, a laugh, flood my mind until
I laugh and cry for want of you.
Oh how I wish
Things could be different
If only for a moment more with you.
I bless your name and God
For His love in letting me know you
For our whole lifetime together.
Like music, your spirit surrounds me.
Bearing me up when my heart sinks.
I thank God for you, my angel,
Every time I speak your name.
For my Carrie
