Heavenly Auto Ride - contributed by a friend

One moment is all it would have taken
And what was her would have to be carefully collected.
Where has that voice gone?
The radio is still on and drowning it maybe
 
And is she still clutching on to her dreams ...
Of her children finding happiness and peace
Of her home a garden of flowers, music, and togetherness
Of her love always beside her.
 
Did all her thoughts get scattered?
Like scrabble tiles waiting to be picked
L for life
S for soul
S for search
A Blank tile for what follows after...
 
The pain out there so intense and palpable
In her heart full of memories ...
Memories
Of lost loved ones
Memories never to be
Left behind with loved ones.
 
The color faded slowly
A rainbow of desires, attachments, expectations ...


And years and layers of experiences built as life
Just vanishing with the soul

Will the soul be able to carry the burden?
Or will it find a weightless peace?

And what about the auto-driver?
