A flash of neon lightning lights the sky When the thunder booms you begin to cry All your new tears fill your eyes The dark hollow contains my body within I view from above like a bird pushed by the wind I suppose this is how your mourning begins. Over time the fresh dirt turns into grass. I see you but can't touch you through this invisible glass A tempered iron chain keeps me away from all that I had. You call out to me while you sleep. I try to answer but cannot speak. So I just watch you as you sleep so sweet. A angel in god's grace are thee. I ascend to god and issue a plea. I give up heaven to touch you again. God grants me leave to be formed again, but you don't know that I am formed from within.
Reason for writing:
In this poem I die.I ask god to return me to my wife,which he does in the
form of our own child that she doesn't know she is carrying yet.
