Mom died 5 years ago in April. I was in Europe on the 5th. I was still holding my dad's heart. I could not call him so I emailed him. He must know that we all care and love him, as we remember mom.
lost her she dreamt shared despair lost her chest cross heartbeat breath mine fog filled my eyes as if cataracts church an act I cling to His hem He heals lost her He found her at his feet catching the Spirit lost her on earth she will be found in paradise I’m still in bed holding the air in her guest room holding my sister’s heart too in the next room rummaging for something to hang onto lost her found His eyes underneath the thorns I’m at the bottom in the valley the arrow a cross He wept crocodile tears like my dad but His were for us lost her He caught her I’m caught up in grief it has passed the past at last
