although the love still shone strong
touch didn't exist anymore
Prayers had been raised up
words are strong
the heart is stronger
Memories abound amidst fallen tears
but what was this mist
of unhuman form
Himself, herself
Itself
Simply energy now
Itself reached out again
The auburn hair glinted in the sunlight
A strand caught in wet eyelashes
Yearning displaced intention
the weight of reality
elephantine in the heart
"I am still here..."
