Awash Strata from Everything Changes by A Sequence of Echoes

We were children on a warm rock in a deep blue lake
Even now, I see it etched in memory
Like an insect trapped in amber before everything changed
I didn’t know it was the last time I would squeeze your shoulder
 
It can come quick like the wind blows out a candle
Even now it makes my stomach turn cold
You were swimming, then you didn’t break the surface again
And your life was done. How that truth sank in too.
 
I’ve lived years beyond you. It isn’t close to fair.
Sometimes I hear your words as my children sleep in my arms
And is my love sufficient to guide them onward
When I have followed you?
 
Will I grieve this body like a tree falls down?
Falling down into the ground
 
Millions walked here before me, looking up at the same stars
Memories of the sun whose light reached me
“Here I am/ here I remain.” All is love and all will stay.
As above, so also as below me (and also you).
