A chapter in the book A Window On My World

The Chasm of Loss

by LisaMay

Souls through death are freed

while more of us are captive —

Fate’s audience.

How to say goodbye?

I hold you near in my thoughts

as time scrolls through years.

So close, yet so far

I can’t cross the chasm of loss.

Lockdown has such cost.

Author's Note:
Lately, so many lives have come to an end with no chance for goodbyes and loving commemoration. This is happening to so many people worldwide and I had a glimpse of it myself today. I live in New Zealand but have dear friends in Australia, just a hop across the Tasman Sea. With travel restrictions this might as well be a chasm. I was supposed to be in Australia in April, and today I received the sad news telling me my close friend's father died. Their family has been important to me for over 50 years.
