Life breathed in

Life breathed in
and then
breathed out
and took you,
home again,
with nothing
left to hold
or touch,
but dreams
and memories.

  1. Really poignant. My mum and I were with my dad when he passed away on Sunday. So many wonderful memories to cherish.

    1. Ah, how apt for you. I wrote it in response to a friend who lost a friend of the same age suddenly. But losing a parent is always hard, regardless of their age or ours.
