Notes About The Poem

Time To Go

you struggle to breathe
when dragged back to our realm

your murmur best freed
under loving angel’s sweeping wing

words you utter
still resonate in the night

whisper to my ear

i gasp how i miss you
hello goodbye hello goodbye

each night circling in flight
sweet echo of your playful sigh

i love you you’re beautiful ~
that rhythmic mantra I know to be illusional
