I Can Hear You Calling

I can hear you calling
your voice is very near
your life essence
whispering in my ear

Expressions of love
in the trees around
laughter from a distant memory
love knows no bounds

I see through your eyes
in the wooded stream
renewed from the rain
reflection from a sun beam

Your warmth is expressed
through creatures in the forest
living life to fullest
expressing themselves in a chorus

Looking through
the lens of time
seeing all your adventures
tales told for a dime

Seeing life in
a twinkle of an eye
the love in your heart
will never die

Created from dust
to which we will return
the bonds that join us
continue through each life turn

Meditation ends
your spirit is near
remembering the love
spreading it another year
