I Dreamt About My Love Meaning Life After Death?

My Love

A brief meditation on grief, dreams, and the mysterious feeling that a loved one may return to us.

Have you ever saw
a loved one past
in a dream
they appeared
as you remembered
them last?

When you wake up
and ask
Is there really life after death?
Because
that was more like
a visitation –

a sensation so serious
I fling on my gown –
dart into the front room
grab my ballpoint pen
and scratch
the white canvas

with a smile –

“What is remembered, lives.” — Native American Proverb
