Grief
The world is suddenly more quiet,
Silent.
Only moments ago,
Laughter ceased as tears poured forth.
Tristan, the young knight of joy, has taken his leave.
He has left this kingdom of modest exploration,
For another yet more faire.
A Land where dragons are so fun to fight,
Where show-n-tell takes place each day,
Where one’s armor is more secure,
One’s sword always well sharpened, to be held aloft,
One’s senses ever attune to ensuing adventure.
Where water-ways are motes to be crossed,
Into castles made for commanding,
Battlements made for defending,
Where Splendor Dwells,
Where Sanctuary surrounds,
Where adventure does not end.
Into the hands of the One who lent him,
To us for such a short time,
He has ventured.
Leaving in his wake,
More love and laughter than can be contained,
Memories of fierce joy, Irrepressible mirth,
Feisty Resolve,
All Swirling about with this day’s Sorrow….
Sail on wee Man, Sir Tristan, hold high your standard,
For you go, wrapped securely
In our covering of Love,
Your Magnificent Quest has new-begun.
********************************
This small token of love was written in honor of little knight, Tristan, who left this earth one evening in May after drowning in a ditch just before his graduation from preschool.
....He will gather the lambs in his arms; He will carry them in his bosom... Isaiah 40:11
