Floating Caskets

Walking around the marsh with caskets Floating in the air, Unknown hollow feelings Tears like rivers, raise the marsh to flooding levels Unable to see your face Muddy steps, bog down Wishing death was not a part of life, idle wish Like a child's tooth fairy Idle wish, Eternity of unanswered questions. Unable to see your face Wanting release

Wonderful writing here, Doris asking the impossible question ... smile ... wish I knew what the blankety, blank it was all about ... I have a number of friends who've passed and/or are going through chemo lately and its getting very strange. My 67th is coming up pretty quick and it seems like I know more who have gone than are here anymore !! Thanks for all your recent comments!!

Sad tale but beautifully described in your words... death is never easy to cope with but like the tooth fairy .. the time passes and wounds are healed.. great write.. Doris.. luv.. Linda-Marie..
