In Taurean's Light

About "In Taurean's Light"

This poem is about an actual dream that I had after the tragic and sudden loss of my brother Taurean. He died in a car accident on August 15, 2001 around 9 pm. Even after all these years, it is still the most devastating thing that has happened in my life. I don't say that lightly because I've been through a whole lot of rough stuff.
The morning after I had the dream was the first time I woke up with a smile on my face. I thank God for the dream and for the time I had with my brother. He was a Christmas baby, born in 1982 so I'm posting this video in his honor.
I love you Taurean! And yes, I will see you again!

In Taurean’s Light

​A beautiful day for a wedding,
  one of the most special days indeed.
But sadly this matrimony
  only exists in my dreams.

It is of my 18 year old brother,
  and such a good brother was he-
  his smile, his manner, his charm,
  numerous things he led me to see.

The brightest day of his life,
  the proud, honored groom
  was shadowed by the truth, 
  he was to die much too soon.

I was furious in my dream-
  trying to  perfect the day
  but no one seemed to care.
They did what they wanted anyway.

I fumed and I shouted.
I stomped all over the place!
How could they take it so lightly-
  his last, important day?!

I was way pass fed up and
  just couldn’t take anymore.
Then I noticed my brother laughing
  and harder than ever before.

I wondered what so funny
  and how could he be so calm.
He said, “Sister, don’t be angry-
  I’m just laughing at you in love.

Stop worrying over the ideal or
  fret not having your way.
Heaven lasts forever.
We can do this again someday.”

"In Taurean's Light" is an excerpt from Candidreams: I Remember the Beginning.

    I want to help uplift, inspire and empower others and to help leave the world a little better than I found it. I am an author, deep thinker & optimist. I know God is love. I am the author of "Candidreams: I Remember the Beginning" and "Role Reversal: Turn Pain Into Power".
    It is never my intent to push my spiritual views on others. I'm just sharing some of my own story in hopes that you or someone else will gain from it and can find some strength and hope in it.  As I am fond of saying:  I'm just giving you a little personal information and insight. What you do with it is completely up to you!
