Autumn Adagio For Carolyn




     Rest, ye now.
     In final sleep.
     You see us now?
     How we weep!
     You, gone, to be 
     with the Lord.
     For those close
     to you~
     It feels like a
     mighty sword.
     Your Words are
     imprinted upon 
     our hearts.
     Thus, a bond formed!
     You shall never ever
     be scorned!
     Wrap us in peace, to 
     face our tomorrows.
     To go on, bearing our
     fresh, aching sorrow!

I've just read this again, as I'd FAVED it. I love the way you shaped it with succinct, meaningful lines, Pangie... Carolyn's passing 'woke me up.' Gotta go mining for the diamonds and the pearls in this life before we take that final breath. This is an absolute gem. Thanks, my friend. ~ Gershon

GERSHON, I WASN'T FEELING WELL. ..SO FORGIVE the lag time. I am going to agree with you! The shape and words are outstanding! I do forget a poem each time I write one. I am closer to life's end than you. I wanted to be bathed by the CHEVRA KADISHA. Told you about my Nashama. When studying Judaism, the Rabbi, wanted me to consider becoming a Rabbi myself. Anyway, I never did convert. BUT.,I miss my lessons. Then I found out about the Home for Jewish Parents, I wanted to work there but had no PC skills. I hope one day after I am gone,someone will say. "Panagiota, of blessed memory."

8/12" behind in responses, Robert! Huge apologies! I did not know her that we'll. But realize she was loved here and a credit to herself. She's gone, too young. Panagiota
