All That Matters


“All that Matters” 

Heather left us today
lost poetry in music 

there she sits 
with Chopin 
at her piano
playing solitaire
for a short while
waiting 
to be collected 

she reads the 
notes and keys
of earthly others

Love surrounds her 
that is all that
matters

into the welcome arms 
of long missing 
ethereal others

Love surrounds her
that is all that
matters

she moves forward
into her new realm
lovingly held 

Love 
surrounds her 
that is all that matters

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
for Heather
with all that matters

AMAZING writing. Love love love this. It speaks as only poetry is able to speak, with a light shining through each syllable, each penetrating breath, so heartfelt, so breathless - like the moment a prayer is expressed. God bless you, love, Gina

a poem written for my mother's sister, my aunt, Heather, who is now at HOME with her mother (my grandmother) and her sister (my mother), and a hoard no doubt, of other souls from my family, who have made that journey. This is what I believe. Heather was an excellent pianist and very much loved by all. Xx

A very sad time for all. At peace, out of pain. I cannot help but to think, my mother (her sister) there to walk her over. In fact, quite a few who loved her in life before their journey, there to welcome her back in with Love. They never leave us, they are always watching over us and remain in our hearts and minds. A very sad time indeed. Love is all that matters. Thank you Schmitty. Xx
