A Father's Decree

In realms beyond, where shadows dance with glee, Draw near, sweet child, and heed my decree. Though my earthly form resides, in silent repose, My essence endures, as life’s eternal cycle flows. Fear not the cold, silent stone’s embrace, For here, pitting bones and rotting flesh replace. Seek instead the dawn’s hallowed, new light, Enveloped in warm laughter, shared by friendships tight. In your veins, my presence forever flows, A soothing rhythm, amidst life’s highs and lows. Through raging storms and stinging rain, I’ll be near, In every Spring’s bloom, my presence vibrant and clear. Discover me in the symphony of the surging sea, In the starry night’s celestial harmony. Like the moonbeams that color your eyes so bright, I am your guide in the darkest of night. I am the courage in your soul’s embrace, The inner voice guiding you, through life’s relentless race. Embrace all the world, let your free spirit soar, For within its depths, I live on forevermore. Treasure the memories, laughter, and love we’ve sown, But know this, dear child, you are never alone. In every sunrise, painting the sky with hues so rare, I’ll be the golden warmth, a love beyond compare. One day, an affair grand, we’ll rejoice again, Ascending Heaven’s stairs together, hand in hand.

This is quite beautiful Edward. There are so many lonely people in the world, yet in reality not alone. While I don't believe in an afterlife per say, I absolutely believe in future reunions via the resurrection. My mom died in October and we weren't terribly close. Hoping we can fix that one day

I offer my condolences on the passing of your mother; the loss of a loved one weighs heavily upon the soul. Regardless of one’s beliefs, upon departing these mortal vessels, our essence, our energy, returns to the ethereal realm from whence it originated, reuniting with those who preceded us and, perhaps, intertwining with those who will follow. Thus, the cosmic cycle continues its eternal dance.

Edward, In the musings of time' song one refrain calls clear, love in the leaving, for the dearly left. Calls beyond the long & short hands of time. -Richard

Indeed, the musings of time often evoke profound reflections on love and loss, transcending the constraints of earthly boundaries. The notion of love enduring beyond the passage of time speaks to the enduring power of human connection, even in the face of separation and departure.

Though earthly vessels may wither, love endures beyond the constraints of temporal and spatial boundaries.
