The Letter channelled just for you if you're grieving

Press play before reading. Salute.

As I slept late one dark night

These words seem to be whispered in a deep dream

The letter left to be sent to someone.

Maybe just you

A painful day will come soon

My beloved when I'm no longer around

To share my love and sweet smiles 

But you will find happiness

When this once penned love letter channelled by your friend John 

Is eventually opened when found

Yes you

You will cry like the Holy River is running down your soft cheeks

Just wondering why I disappeared

A while ago when I died

Those precious tears which may seem to fall endlessly 

When you look for me up in dark storm-filled emotional skies

But my dearest 

Don't search for me aimlessly throughout all the busy villages or big cities streets

For I am still here 

Deep inside

To whisper through beloved memories

To bring to you much needed inner peace

For I’ll always love you

May these words still linger and resonate deep inside

To help you cross 

Mother Griefs notorious picket line

And if there ever comes a time 

When they seem to lose their glimmer or illustrious shine

Or just through time

Slowly fade

Just pick up one of my 

divine memories sticks

One of my old well-loved photographs 

And revisit our once happy Memories Parade

For I am simply a heartbeat away

A silent joyous thought 

On a beautiful Summers day

A warm embrace while the Winters starlings play

Just forever keep me real close 

Within the deep recesses of your mind

Don't let Father Time

tear us apart but just let me live 

Within each and every

beat of your heart

For here's a secret many cursed by

Father Time 

Simply forget

A few flowers on specific days

May seem so precious

But for us 

Living here on the other side

If you can remember us in the good times

The happiness and joyous occasions when we were all once together

Then we will be reborn

In your beautiful tear-filled eyes

To always return to help you conquer

Your soft tears and perhaps a seemingly never-ending depression

So smile now and just

think of me as I continue to make an impression 

So I can be reborn to always see 

All you can see

My greatest of all friends

My beloved one and only

Please remember though

I'll always try to visit and watch over you

But just promise that whatever happens

Getting depressed is never the solution or key

And just smile knowing I'll never forget you if you'll never forget me
