For Ophelia

by Jessica Findlay

The sun continues to rise

the wind continues to blow

life goes on, as if it doesn’t know

that you left me.

You have gone where I cannot follow

into the eye of the storm, that rages on

inside you.

The moon continues to glow

lighting the way forward, from the darkest of times

I left behind.

The stars continue to shine

my heart continues to beat, strong and steady

out of time

with yours.
