A Final Goodbye
by SaddleClub 2/22/2010, 9:45 pm
The bittersweet scent of flowers
Heart wrenching. Intoxicating. Invigorating.
It lingers in the air, undisturbed
Following everyone
He lies there peacefully
The sounds, the movement, the scent....none bother him
However, the people all cry for him
Trying to reach out
Just one last time
Silently, they take him in
The small cotton puff of his hair
Pale white fingers
Hollow face
All who have come walk amongst each other
Talking in no louder than a hushed tone
They come to me with sad eyes
Yet a smile is on their lips
Hoping the sorrow evades me
Though it hit me long ago
In the almost empty room
Hours later
I finally approach him
Tears sting my eyes, but do not fall
I know. I understand.
I whisper softly
For only his ears
“I miss you.”
The words bounce back
The dead cannot hear
Before walking away
I whisper once more:
“I love you.
Goodbye, Grandpa.”
