beautiful, silvergirl, sad and redeeming and bright, and it makes me feel for you. God bless

Thanks petey, you're so kind.
:hug3:

I still yearn to give you all that I can
even though there's no more you to give to.

It won't stop, I don't see how it can
I don't see how I can stop those feelings.

Each of us is a little whirlwind, like we see
on the city streets or in a field of green.

Here, for a brief time, stirring things up, ha ha,
dancing and singing; laughing and crying.

We give of our artistry from our hearts, our spirits
upon the altar of life itself, bowing, then looking up

and into one another's eyes with a gleam and a smile.
How can we kill the belief we will see each other again?

To Heidi
 

Hello Heidi,

I'm so sorry things went off the rails, but I do still think of you and wish you well.

I walked into my living room a little bit ago,
And there was a moth on the wall near the lamp.
I thought how odd to see a moth in the house.

That never happens here…
Well, you know, insects are often thought of
As signs from deceased loved-ones and it's not

The first time I've seen an unusual bug or butterfly
Show up at an unusual time and wondered 'if…'
Before, I would have easily swatted it dead

Without a second thought, but today I decided
To figure out how to get him safely out the front door
And on its way, so I took a styrofoam cup and easily

Shooed it into the cup with my free hand and let it
Safely flutter away outside my door, and that was that.
It felt liberating to do that. He had a mark on his back

Collar area shaped just like a shield - black with a
Small red mark of some sort in the center. How easy
Is that, to make up stories like, it was a message from

My dearly departed son, that he has been knighted
And given honor wherever he is now and stopped by
Just to check up on me. Love is crazy like that.
