I saw your dimming <br /> light leave the body <br />terrible cold stillness <br /> in the shadowed valley <br />stifling your last breaths <br /> <br />I missed your beaming <br /> joyful emergence <br />beyond the mystic veil <br /> a dancer turns radiantly <br />whirling to another world <br /> 2006<br /><br />Phillip Michael Sawatzky<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/whirling/
