Hello.......Is That You?

Are you trying to reach me?

My beautiful heavenly friend.

Over the past few days the phone has rang

With no one on the other end.



Every Easter morning

for many years gone by

I would wake to my Easter call from you

To simply tell me "Hi".



This Easter morning came and went.

The phone rang several times.

But when I reached to say hello

There was no one on the line.



Oh, I know, that it is a fantasy

to think of phone lines from above.

I know though, if there was a way

you would have tried to touch me with your love.



So just in case there is a way

To reach me here below ~

I will always be here to take your call

Please,

next time

say

"Hello"!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was the first Easter without my friend that passed away just after Christmas. Although there was many calls between us we ALWAYS talked on Easter morning.  It is true that my phone rang off the hook yesterday with no one on the other end.  No number showed on the caller ID.  I know it is silly but somehow I felt it was her trying to reach me.  Silly?  Well maybe.  ~Lesa~

Wow, great poem. I love the message in it. I love and agree with the point that you are trying to make. No, I do not think it is silly at all. I know you miss your friend, Inge, if this is the same person. I lost a friend too.

That was lovely. I believe that people that "pass over" aren't really gone, they stay with you no matter where you are. Great poem :)

Sometimes I think God has angels all around us waiting to answer our questions and to listen to our wailing pain. I always try to keep the line open. I need help too often to let it ever go dead.

May your days be blessed with a bounty of friends who always call when you need them,

The bereavement of a closed friend is indeed painful here...as achingly painted by your words, lesa.
I share your sorrow.....and i wish u well.

That's cool. I hope it was your friend calling.
Seems like that poem just flowed. Very nice.

Lesa, this is another one of those I commented on when you first posted but it didn't record for some reason! Wanted to come back and let you know how much I liked it ! It's kind of like faith isn't it? If you believe... Then it is true... We can all find signs of our lost loved ones if we will only look and believe... Don't you think??

Peace and love ~~~~ Dougie ~~

Hi lesa,

Thanks for the sentiment. It's hard to know what to think in a situation like this. Heaven only knows. Maybe indeed it was your friend reaching out to say hi...I'll bet that's the first ? you'll ask her when eternity allows your spirits to connect once again...

in light and Spirit,

It through emptiness and
nothingness that we come to
truely cherish the worth of
another human being...

And when we learn this through
the death of a beloved friend;
it can be so distressing; yet
painfully healing and inspiring
especially if we are humane and
loving enough to live with the
departed person's beautiful
and uplifting memories!
