Awake

To honor my friend who passed away on 8/16 and her daughters who took such good care of her. Rest in peace, my friend, in the arms of Jesus the ebb and flow, fluidity of blood through arteries and veins stopped still, the shell they take we’ve been so busy arms like lead awake to the silence the break, now that we have it is a crying-shame the loft the dog sat upon memories and his not too distant future nor ours 8/16/2022

Death truly is "the break." I have never seen it so well described - the break in the line of a our relationship with the one who is gone. This is a wonderful tribute. Please know you are in my prayers at this time of sorrow. Losing a friend is like losing a part of you. Sending you and your friend's family comfort on wings of prayer.
