Lauren
I thought I saw
the sunlight in
the window flicker,
as if a small
shadow had passed
as I blinked my eyes.
I
stepped softly
to your bedside
to touch your hand
and brush your cheek.
No
shadow had
flickered the light
It
was the shimmering
of gossamer wings
newly gifted and
taking flight.
A
burst of energy
to break the bonds
of a body bound
to this earth.
It
was the light
of a soul set free
and sent out to live
among the stars.
