Old age <br />moved them <br />further away in time <br />where they lost themselves <br />hidden beneath wrinkles <br />and medicines and blankets. <br /> <br />Then death <br />moved them all the way <br />to that brighter place, <br />where they could begin again, <br />but I was left here to mourn them. <br /> <br />I suppose all of life <br />is about moving... <br />away from some things too soon <br />or forward before we're ready. <br /> <br />They came to say goodbye today; <br />I felt them move from my heart <br />They must know I can <br />finally bare their absence. <br /> <br />I guess it must be time... <br />for me to move on too.<br /><br />Carolyn Brunelle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/moving-day-5/
