Decade

It’s been 10 years since I saw that look on his face.
A look of his whole world came crashing down.

It’s been 10 years since I saw the light in his eyes
In his face
In his soul
Frazzles. Flicker. Fades.

It’s been a long 10 years.

10 years of fighting loneliness

10 years of failing muscles

10 years of withering memories

10 years of questioning

10 years of yearning

10 years of life, without your soul

It’s been 10 years since your soul left your world
But today, you left our world
On to the next

It’s been 10 years since the last you saw each other
But today, you reunite
In a better place

Happy reunion, Inyik & Nenek

With love,
From all of us down here
