From â??On The Death Of The Belovedâ?? by John Oâ??Donohue
Though we need to weep your loss, You dwell in that safe place in our hearts,
Where no storm or night or pain can reach you.
Your love was like the dawn brightening over our lives awakening beneath the dark
A further adventure of colour.
The sound of your voice found for us a new music that brightened everything. Whatever you enfolded in your gaze quickened in the joy of its being;
You placed smiles like flowers on the altar of the heart. Your mind always sparkled
with wonder at things.
Though your days here were brief, your spirit was live, awake, complete.
Though we cannot see you with outward eyes, we know our soulâ??s gaze is upon your face, smiling back at us from within everything to which we bring our best refinement.
Let us not look for you only in memory, where we would grow lonely without you.
You would want us to find you in presence, beside us when beauty brightens,
When kindness glows and music echoes eternal tones.
When orchids brighten the earth, Darkest winter has turned to spring;
May this dark grief flower with hope In every heart that loves you.
