Monika’s poem, a message from a departed soul, encourages us to find comfort in the enduring spirit that transcends physical existence, exclusively for Different Truths.
Let no tears fall at my earthly dust.
I am not there; I have risen beyond what I was before.
Look for me in the warmth of the sun, the finesse of the moon.
Seek me not in the quiescence of agony.
I am the verve that ripples through the stream,
the soaring hawk that paints the boundless sky.
When stars ignite the velvet night,
seek my light in their celestial sway.
Don't dwell on the vessel that has turned to dust,
My spirit is eternal; in trust I shall stay.
