[Thespiritexpress] Tuesday poem

[Riantee Rand]

His Last Breath

I was out with friends,
I came back home a few moments too late
to catch his last breath,
so I found my lifelong love
in a filial embrace
floating on a cloud of candles and flowers
wrapped in daughterly silence 
and I attempted to join him
on his flight
while his last breath still hung 
in mid-air 
but I stood frozen, 
appalled at my negligence,
my sorrow slowly dissolving
in the distance he kept 
from the things of this world and its people
as for months
he kept attempting to give out
that 
last 
breath.
