Solace

By Lisa Carmel Singer

​

From the Silence of your pain, I heard my name
and on the wings of light I have come
to see the sadness in your eyes
that cry without tears

Can you see me, I am here.

I will always be near you,
to calm your shattered heart
and to make you smile at the memories

Do you feel me, perhaps a soft brush of fur.

You ache to believe it’s real
but you are afraid to hope
you brush away a strand of hair
But it was I, whispering

I am only here for a moment.

The silver thread gently quivers
I will leave behind my love in a dream
When you awaken and without really knowing why

​

Your heart will know at last
That it is alright for now
to say goodbye.
