half a breath

summer still feels like yesterday

love sleeps deep

is that what I hear you say?

they say I am gone

but you know the kindest part

of me has stayed

don't jump-don't close your eyes

one day this pain will fade

but I took part of you with me

it will never turn to grey

summer breath, one half a breath

from you

grieve no longer for 

the thing you can't undo

it's a long way to anywhere when 

you feel alone

but you're running so far, so fast

you can't see the one thing

that's meant to last

slow down

listen to your summer song

I still remember you

just want you to know

your wishes hold the stars

up in the sky

still I dream the meadows

we used to roam

a love this deep will never let

you fall

will never let you go

This was written August 8 2013 in my front yard .After cleaning my basement I walked outside and sat down, these were the words that fell from my pen.I believe they were sent from my younger brother Patrick whom I lost May 20 1999.One of the hardest losses I've faced was losing him.
