I know that you must leave me,
Running ahead and leading the way,
I will do my best to follow,
Experiencing life each and every day.

Forgive me that I lag behind
Slow and weak in faith
I struggle to keep pace with you
My pain of loss is great

I long for your soft touch
And to listen to you breathe
I even miss the smell of fish
That dominated your sweet kiss

They tell me that I should find comfort
In the fact that you are whole
I just know that I am incomplete
With a heart that has a hole.

I sigh with resignation
And search for so called signs
That life is truly everlasting
And one only has to die

I am told that what I did was strong
A lethal dose of kindness
Dichotomy splits my heart and soul
Mercy brings forgiveness

I feel the simple harmonics
To oscillate in truth
The rhythm and the timing
Reminds me of life with you

Godspeed my dear Jogger
Your energy is pure
I embrace the entire universe
Peace and love endure
