Beyond

I find myself reading the words you left me

Simple sentences never failing to bring me comfort

Someone would believe you knew

You knew that you wouldn’t be around

So

You left me pieces

Pieces to a puzzle

One made uniquely for you and me

Even though I have the pieces

I don’t have the most important piece of all

You

Without that final piece

I find myself spiraling

Sometimes often

It is in these letters I find control

Signed “Beyond the moon and stars”

I am here to confirm that your signature is pure and true

Even in this beyond we are surviving

In the love created

In the love you continue to give

Guiding me like a lighthouse

Making sure I always make it safely

Traveling to destinations I never would’ve never known without you
