This poem is about loss and starts off light with a touch of humor, but loss is certainly not a humorous topic and as the stanzas go on the losses mount. Losing our most precious possessions, our mother and loved ones is a most difficult burden. Bishop lost both her parents as a child.
This poem is dedicated to @surpassinggoogle for the lose of his mother.

Moving From Darkness To Light

There is turmoil in the loss of a loved one, yet in the end there is a peace of knowing someone so special and how their love is greater than the pain.

The blue skies turn to grey.
No more stories.
You've gone away.

The echoes of your smile,
Your kindness, your love,
Everything that made life worthwhile
Crashed down like a dove.

But memories will never fade.
Like a light that guides me (@surpassinggoogle),
Your love, your beauty,
Will always find me (@surpassinggoogle) ...

Rest in peace mama!
