Togetherness
Death is nothing at all. I have only
slipped away into the next room.
Whatever we were to each other, we still
are. Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the same easy way you
always have. Laugh as we always
laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed
together. Play, smile, think of me, pray
for me. Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it always was. There is
absolute unbroken continuity. Why
should I be out of your mind because I
am out of your sight? I am but waiting
for you, for an interval, somewhere very
near, just around the corner. All is well.
Nothing is past. Nothing has been lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it
was before. Only better, infinitely
happier. We will be one, together,
forever.
