Imprint (for Madison)


I leave behind not a memory,
but an imprint.
One that runs deep.
One that flows into the Universe of the Heart.
A place where you can reach for me.
Where you can dream of me.
Where our journey continues...

Through this field of lilies.
You have become aware that I am with you.
I have always known you
and I have never left your side.

In the humming of the bee.
In the song of the little brown bird.
In the center of a Daisy.
I exist there with you.

I will giggle when you laugh
and hug you when you are sad.
I will come through you once again
for this is not the end.
