everyone.
I agree mpj, better to share these things than to worry about overposting. It's been comforting, even while I cry, to see the videos and poems, and just to read your thoughts and feelings, over the last few weeks. It's a true celebration both of Heath and of our ties here.
I found this poem written by a poster over at imdb and just wanted to share it here. By CrowBat2005. Whoever you are, it's a beautiful poem that expresses what I'm sure a lot of us are feeling.
The Thought of You
It hurts as much as the first time
It feels like the first day
Each and every thought of you
Makes my smiles turn to dismay
Your name, your face, your voice,
Used to sweep me off my feet
Now each and every thought of you
Brings me to my knees
I shake it from my mind
So positive thoughts can surface
It was an honor for the earth to bear you
Your life had its own purpose
You had love and care
Which you both gave and received
Humble, quiet, friendly
Such beauty is hard to believe
Suddenly, true words fill my mind
I feel the emptiness of my heart
And once again the thought of you
Makes me feel the earth's mourning of such an art
When your absence slips my mind
I live in blissful ignorance
Then the very thought of you
Shoots reality into existence
