On that day you peacefully passed
from your family,
those who never strayed even when
miles stuck holes in the road,
I was away without you.
I didn't realize who you were
or what you had given me
as I grew up in your arms,
until your voice left my ears
echoing from clouds' travel.
I may never know everything
you brought to strangers,
but I can remember you did
all you could to protect me,
your love mended my heart.
Now the horizon is breaking
and I am suddenly falling,
wanting to lean against
your heart, the one that
caused the earth to cry,
the sacred soul that left
my spirit in a rush.
