Far, But Near

[dpodesta]

You may be gone, but I know you are near,

I can sense your spirit when an answer comes

to a log, drawn-out question

that has weighed heavily on my heart.

When I feel the darkness in my soul fading

and when I muster up a little strength to go on,

it isn't like it used to be when I could hear you laugh,

see your smile, and catch the twinkle in your eye.

I want to reach out and hug you,

but it's then that I have to listen with another ear,

see with different eyes and feel another touch.

Because it's a powerful spirit that now surrounds me,

so full of love and help and healing, as always,

but now in a different way.

You may be gone, but I know you are near.
