A Poem for Erik

Posted in: Bereaved, Channeling, Death, Death of a Child, Death of a friend, Death of a sibling, Grief, Grieving, Struggles

River of Tears
Your death brings tears of grief and despair,
That course down my face and into my soul.
Once healed, my tears are longing to share,
They join tears of others whose lives take their toll.
From hardships and losses come lessons and pain,
As that river of tears ebbs and flows.
It grows with new sorrow, it swells in the rain
Cutting new paths wherever it goes
The river of tears grows with each stumble and fall,
The river’s a journey designed from above,
A journey toward joy, a gift for us all.
The river is holy, the river is Love.
–Mama

    Dearest Elisa,
    My heart aches for you. I remember only too well how difficult it was for us all, as a family, to get through Adam’s 21st birthday.
    I’m sure you all did your best to celebrate, for Erik’s sake and I’m sure he had his own celebrations in heavan. This is a poem I wrote for Adam’s big day. Love and blessings, Tracy xx

    Adam’s 21st Birthday.

    My boy is now a man of 21.
    What of those passing years,
    where have they gone?
    Filled with love and hope and pride
    and latterly with tears,
    For I’ll never see the man he would become.

    For 18 years he was my earthly son.
    Cruel fate took him away
    and he is gone!
    No longer can I nurture him
    and keep him safe and warm.
    I ache inside for failing as a mum.

    I should have seen the danger up ahead.
    Too late to say, ‘If Only…’,
    He is dead!
    My lovely boy, so full of life,
    ripped coldly from my grasp.
    A life without him fills my heart with dread.

    His empty room still waits for his return.
    His bed still made,
    his mother’s heart to yearn
    for the sound of, ‘Hi, it’s me,
    I’m home mum, what’s for tea?’
    The hardest lesson I will ever learn.

    My Adam-John, my precious, handsome son.
    What kind of man would you have now become?
    Of all the things I wish,
    I wish that I could say today,
    ‘My boy is now a man of 21’.
    27th August, 2009.
    Happy 21st birthday, Adam,
    Wish I could buy you a fabulous gift,
    love you forever, mum xx

    How many people are lucky to have a mother that would write a poem for them? Wow!

  • Epeavey

    Absolutely beautiful…it brought me to tears! You are very gifted Elisa and your stamina amazes me. I hope you all were able to celebrate Erik’s birthday for the moments he shared with you, the laughter he gave, and the joy he brought to your lives.

    Much love!

    Hi Everyone,

    I would like to share a poem I wrote about six months before my son died. It is written from the perspective of someone that has died and wants to comfort his loved ones back on the earth. Little did I know how powerful this poem would become when I lost my own son. I know that many of you here are still struggling with grief and so I hope that this poem brings you some comfort. I plan to include this poem in a book of poetry that I am beginning to compile. I have a title but I am going to keep that secret until I have the finished product and a publisher.

    WEEP NOT

    You approach my grave to make a connection
    that you can no longer accomplish.
    You offer petals from a fragrant flower
    that peels off and floats unto my final resting place.

    There is a light that filters through the trees,
    illuminating the granite headstone that highlights my name.
    There are tears that spring from your eyes,
    watering the green grass, like dew from heaven.

    You believe that you can’t go on
    as you hurl yourself on my dust.
    You are prepared to end it all
    because you are convinced that life is not worth living without me.

    My beloved, please arise and take my hand.
    Feel my spirit encompass you as we journey together.
    Let me dry the rain that wets your face
    and allow me to blow away the dust that clings to you.

    I am the wind that flows through the trees.
    I am the sun that arises each day, giving light to all.
    I am the song that fills your heart with wonder.
    I am the life that still breathes within you.

    For whenever you walk this land,
    feeling the tranquil breeze touch you,
    then you must know that I have returned
    to caress your hair and to kiss the nape of your neck.

    For whenever you awaken,
    feeling the golden light pouring in through the window pane,
    then you must know that I have returned
    to shower you with my warmth and my passion.

    For whenever you hear joyful sounds,
    feeling the music of the cosmos raining upon your soul,
    then you must know that I have returned
    to sing you a song of hope and elation.

    For whenever you believe that dying is better than living, feeling that your world has stopped spinning,
    then you must know that I have returned
    to reassure you, that even though I have died, I continue to live within you.

    Weep not, my beloved, for I am the wind flowing through the trees.
    Weep not, my beloved, for I an the sun that arises each day.
    Weep not, my beloved, for I am the song that fills your heart with wonder.
    Weep not, my beloved. for my life still breathes within you.

    Arise from the earth that holds you in its grip!
    Feel joy awaken you from the dead!
    Sing with tears of exultation once again!
    Weep not, my beloved, for my life and my love will ever live within you.

    Love,
    Paul

    “what’ll i do
    with only
    dreams of you
    that won’t
    come true
    what’ll i do”

    Hello,

    Wow, so many wonderful poems. They are all quite touching. Makes you stop and think about things. Remember that our loved ones are not gone. That even though we don’t see them, they are there to help us pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off and keep going. Always there helping us, even if we don’t realize it.

    -Stanley
