If I should ever leave you whom I love
To go along the Silent Way, grieve not, Nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk Of me as if I were beside you there…. And when you hear a song or see a bird I loved, please do not let the thought of me Be sad…. For I am loving you just as I always have…. You were so good to me! There are so many things I wanted still To do - - so many things to say to you Remember that I did not fear - - it was Just leaving you that was so hard to face…. We cannot see beyond…. But this I know: I loved you so – ‘twas heaven here with you! -- Isla Paschal Richardson

When someone close to our heart dies, their physical body might not be there, but the memories will remain in our hearts. By the way, I just want to tell Isla Paschal Richardson that this is a good poem. Thank you for sharing this short but heartfelt poem that you posted here. I have not experienced losing a close friend yet, and I hope that I will not experience it in my lifetime because I can just imagine how painful it could be. I just want to say that the poem was really good and I hope that I write as good as you. Leave a Reply. |

AuthorIt is a simple philosophy here at THE BELL HOUSE; make connections by bringing people together through dance. Art that seeks to defy a fractured view of the world by creating culture that cares for the soul and is concerned with human thriving. For me, it isn’t enough to just make dance for dance’s sake; it is my belief that it is the connective power of people that makes art worth engaging. We do that by taking our interests and talents and challenging the ways we connect them to something tangible in the human experience. It is through these connections and tangibilities that we see the true power of art and dance manifest back to relationships with and through people. In my view, what matters is people; the time and space of making work refract and overlap revealing and creating new possibilities for human connection. Archives
