Her Bicycle, For My Peace Activist Sister

Her bicycle has carried her many miles. She
is here now in a sacred place where leaves
are falling. She's here now, settling near my
heart. Pan flute notes float mid-air, then
settle on the path. Her warmth, a warm
summer day; her voice, a picnic of words;
her presence, a gathering of doves.

She ascends now: swirling spokesperson 
pedals on to do her work. I love her comings,
her goings. Her bicycle carries her many miles.
She is faithful to her humanity.

A sweet write. Love never stops or dies even when our bodies transition. Hugs

Amen sister! I believe that. Thanks, Karen, for appreciating this tribute to my sister. We've both been out in the streets and in parks trying to put an end to all the craziness. Let's stay grounded in poetry!
