haiku 100

she walks with angels
  in heaven's angelic realm
    on clouds of fine silk

  dark grey winter day
    casket lowered into ground
      coldness in the heart

Such a contrast but how much better is new life after this one. Reading below here, did your mother recently pass away? My condolences.

I am saddened at your loss. It has been 26 years since my mother's death, but I think about her and my father in some way everyday. Sara K
