Life leaving?

My sister died a few days ago,
I was with her in that moment.
It was not loud or momentous,
It was peaceful.
Like life stepping away quietly.
Her body remained.
It stayed with us
Whilst we went through
The business of her parting,
But it was clear she was not there.
She was not her body.
Her life force was no longer there.
It had stepped away.
I have sought to find her,
Her energy, her spirit.
I can feel warmth
In my memories of her,
Pleasure in the memories
Others share of her.
They make me smile,
But also make me sad,
For they are memories
Of life that was.
I sought to find her
But to no avail,
Until I stopped and found
The life force that’s in me,
The life force that’s in all of us.
It is the same.
Quietly, yet somehow
With amazing energy.
Life fills our spaces.
Our brains and bodies
Mould it into
Our experiences,
Our present journey.
Yet, at this moment of separation
It becomes clear,  
We are not our bodies.
Life itself somehow
Is formless;
A force, an energy.
We know energy transforms,
It does not die, or end.
Now I feel it in me,
That same energy,
That was her life-force
Resonating in and all around me.
Here, where each,
All, or any of us are,
This is where Life continues.
