Afterglow ...
Well I've written and re-writen this message quite a few times. Words have failed me now. I can not expresss the deep loss I feel or the extreme sense of sorrow I have for Mike's and Dylan, Dean and Darcy's loss. I need to know my brother will be okay. I gently and from a distance have followed him around (like someone else we know) these past few days to make sure he is okay. Now the toughest part begins. Letting go so they can heal in their own way and in their own time. Letting go so I can heal. Immediately Mike and the kids are going to Florida. They will regroup and figure out a way to be 4. They need to learn to stand on their own 8 legs as Mike says. I get to go back to my own life. Come Monday morning at 9:00am, for the first time in months I will have "nothing" to do. I know I won't be alone. There are lots of places I can go. For a coffree. I wish though, just one more time it could be with Jo. Even though Jo's gone we can live well in her memory and feel her presence and know we are truly better people for knowing her. This songs means a lot to me and it represent hope on the other side of sorrow, that we can live well in loss and be touched by Joanne's life. Her beauty. Her radiance. Her afterglow. Love, hugs and a few "foreheads"KimAfterglowINXS - (Andrew Farriss, Desmond Child)
Here I amLost in the light of the moonThat comes through my windowBathed in blueThe walls of my memoryDivides the thorns from the rosesIt's you and the rosesTouch me and I will followIn your afterglowHeal me from all this sorrowAs I let you goI will find my wayWhen I see your eyesNow I'm livingIn your afterglowHere I amLost in the ashes of timeBut who owns tomorrowIn betweenThe longing to hold you againI'm caught in your shadowI'm losing controlMy mind drifts awayWe only have todayTouch me and I will followIn your afterglowHeal me from all this sorrowAs I let you goI will find my wayI will sacrificeTill that blinding dayWhen I see your eyesNow I'm livingIn your afterglowWhen the veils are goneAs I let you goAs I let you goTouch me and I will followIn your afterglowHeal me from all this sorrowAs I let you goI will find my wayI will sacrificeNow I'm livingIn your afterglowBathed in blueThe walls of my memoryDivides the thorns from the rosesIt's you who is closest
