Nowhere to go but the heart...
(rumi)
I wrote the following poem for a friend who recently lost a close family member.
Essence
My heart swells with every
thought of your absence -
Interwoven, streaks of gold;
Dancing aflame, a candle light
flicker,
Every moment, a memory that carries,
That swell -
Like the waves of the ocean,
Inching, claiming more of the beach.
Their ambition insistent,
And you, and me, and all.
This unspoken connection,
of commonality.
Moving our limbs through the
current of life,
Until the last breath;
And we remember flying for the first time!
