If you miss me
When you miss me
Fill the emptiness with music and dancing
I call on the photographers, poets, dancers, writers, creators, dreamers
I have left a hole in this world to fill and it's up to you to fill it
My light may be extinguished
But the spark remains
And I pass it on to you
To light the darkness with creation
If you miss me
When you miss me
Create boldly
Sing loudly
Dance joyfully
Write prolifically
Daydream often
If you miss me
When you miss me
Cook your favorite meal
Watch your favorite movie
Make a date with friends
Buy a new pen and notebook
Wish on the biggest fluffy dandelions you can find
If you miss me
When you miss me
Live a stereophonic life
Make everyday a symphony full of
Crescendos and decrescendos
Adagios to allegros and back again
And let it into your bones
The achingly beautiful and the triumphantly bold
For this is how life is
Textured, varied, colorful and subdued
If you miss me
When you miss me
Remember to laugh often
Speak your truth honestly, but kindly
Live authentically
Love fiercely
Be the spark of magic and madness the world needs
If you miss me
When you miss me
Do the things that bring you contentment
Enjoy them without the burden of guilt
Life is meant to be experienced
And I wish you a lifetime of fulfilling experiences
If you miss me
When you miss me
Make a wish on a star
Write me a letter
Hug someone you love
Surround yourself with love
Walk through the world with love
And compassion
And empathy
If you miss me
When you miss me
Know that I miss you too
I will never be far from you
Ready to celebrate you
Support you
Comfort you
Love you
From wherever I am
If you miss me
When you miss me
Read this poem
And know I miss you too
