Standing silently you watched me grieve
Understanding the pain I felt yet you chose not to leave
Worried about me as the days passed by
And held me close when I'd wake up in the night and would cry
You looked at me and wanted to take away the sorrow and pain
If you could, you would give up everything to see the laughter
In my in my eyes again
Deeper and deeper I'd withdraw from reality
Yet you were always there waiting patiently
You became my rock to lean on
You showed me that I could, and had to be strong
You loved me enough to make me travel this path alone
For you are my soul mate and my heart song
Form:
Like the moon pours its light
Over a forest, in silence
Echoing the music of solace
Graceful like the sigh, inspiration
Healing darkness, nocturnal
Blessings venturing beyond the moon
Stars in glimpses of hopeful shimmering
Promising to make wishes come true with their laughter,
Blessing the heart, the soul – with
Knowing that even the densest undergrowth
Feels the melody as the moon
Casts its shaft, elegant, supple – flowing
Over the night, beckoning paradise, stirring the soul to life
As it parts the oaks, the pines, singing
Through the limbs, gentling lyrics
Opening hearts, in the clearing –
Where moonlight restores the joy
Burning through those who know, alone
Isn’t always lonely. Sometimes,
Alone is like a touch from the most holy

When daddy brought you
home l loved you instantly.
You were my friend and
my protector.
Throughout the years you
became part of the family.
My love for you will never end.
There's a special place in my
heart reserved for you alone.
As l look back down memory
lane. I remember the day you
left us. That sad day is forever
engraved in my memory.
On this day you ran out the gate
into on coming traffic and got hit
by a car. I cried until the tears had
no longer fell. I was devasted l not
only lost my pet dog, I lost one
of my family members.
Daddy buried you in the back yard
of the old house. Rest in peace my
beloved Big Red.

Dark January
It was a snowy January night.
Unknown to us, my husband's mom had passed.
Alone, asleep with no one by her side,
Except for Kitty...pet of eighteen years.
Our hearts were broken with mom's sudden death;
So loved by us and her dear family,
And loved by Kitty too, her constant joy
That she attended to with all her heart.
Mom was a nurse and gave Kitty her shots
For feline diabetes every day,
And treated her for many other ills.
How could the family now care for her.
The vet told us that she was very sick;
To put her down would be the only way.
Without her 'mom', her heart would surely break.
With heavy hearts, we could not disagree.
So Kitty rests with mom in peace of death,
Inside her coffin curled up there with her.
Just as she was the day we found them both,
Together on the bed that dreadful day.

True Story - January 1993
(Funeral director/friend at the time, placed Kitty in with mom.
Not usually done, but he did so as a favor.)
When we agitated, they said we are mad
But they never cared to make us glad.
When we erupted like the volcano, they swore
But forgot our hearts that they tore.
We asked for necessities
But we were chased away by their securities.
We cried, that they might pity us,
But we were left alone to bear our cross.
We are supposed to be under their umbrella,
But we weren’t sheltered, hence we had to surrender.
Food isn’t affordable to eat,
And its been long since we’ve tasted meat.
Under the wicked sun with its rays red,
We saw their shinning daggers to dread.
All we asked for, is food, clothing and shelter,
But we were assaulted, and ran helter-skelter.
Politrickers, mock us not again
For our struggles would’t be in vain.
If we could survive these troubles,
We’ll forget the pain of these struggles.
Girl it's been a long time--sorry to make you wait
But this heart is a like a tired old freight train
And it's going to take some time to unwind
I've been staring out the door of this box car
As the world rolls away think'n why a man
wants to be lonely and loves the sky so grey
And you know what babe? It's not that
I don't love you. It's not that I don't care
It's just everything I've been through
To get to here from there
I've chugged through all these hose-stop towns
Climbed o'er every mountain pass
A blanket of stars when the sun goes down
Tucked in that mournful whistle blast
With the moon as my mistress every night
Sweet companion wherever I roam
Thoughts travel on rails so straight and so right
I am always least lonely when I am alone
For thirty years --you know it was true
Even the thirty --I spent with her
Now all that's left I give to you
And I'm sure that I'm sure that I'm sure
You are my Angel from Montgomery
My something to hold onto song
You are that missing part of me
When everything else is gone
I'm gonna get back on this train tonight
And travel with the big fat moon
It's been this way all of my life
But I'll be coming to see you soon
Yeah... I'm coming to see you soon
You were a stranger, just a name,
Yet now my heart is not the same.
Through fights and laughs, through highs and lows,
You are the one my heartbeat knows.
I never asked for much in life,
But found in you both joy and strife.
For every tear, there’s twice the grace,
For every loss, your warm embrace.
A hundred reasons why I care,
Yet one alone I cannot bear—
The thought of life without your light,
A sky without its stars at night.
You make me laugh, you make me whole,
You calm the storm within my soul.
Each little glance, each word you say,
Turns every dark cloud bright with day.
I run to you in joy or pain,
Like sunshine follows after rain.
Your voice, my refuge, soft and true,
The only place I’m seen right through.
But deep inside, a whisper stays,
A fear that never fades away—
What if one day, you walk, you leave?
What if it’s only me who grieves?
I try to act like I’m okay,
Ignore the hurt, push it away.
But silence only makes it clear—
I need you more than I can bear.
Possessive? Maybe. Call it so.
I just can't stand to let you go.
Not just for now, not for a while,
But every breath, each tear, each smile.
If I am selfish, let it be,
For all I want is you with me.
Not fate, not time, not love’s cruel test—
Just you, forever, nothing less.
She sponges her face to brightness.
She has been depressed before
but this trench her mind trudges through
is full of a clinging dark mud
and she can't get out of.
At work she has to teach her hands
to do things she has done a thousand times before.
Then there is the mirror,
she cleans and wipes it constantly
but at each glace she sees her face blurring
as it leaves for nowhere.
She eats alone, the restaurant erupts
with an air-conditioned laughter
that makes her head spin.
Back home she drinks and drunks.
Her friend calls:
"That guy in Section D,
wants me. Last week still hurts.”
“This morning I almost didn’t.”
she replied.
There is a long pause,
duct tape holds together the center -
just.
Petals so soft and sweet, bloom anew
like wishes made on magic shooting stars,
this singular day fills my thoughts with you
and the special beauty behind your scars.
For you, I dream of moments of magic,
for laughter and friends and smiles to share,
and gentle thoughts for a soul so tragic,
although you'll never know how much I care.
I hope your new year brings you love filled sighs
and when it's dark you never feel alone,
for, like the gleam that twinkles in your eyes,
your warmth fills the world with a love unknown.
Your light vanquishes the shadows of my dreams
and illuminates the darkness of my soul.

Building your wings feather by feather.
Checking the skies, watching the weather.
Sitting alone, dreaming of angels
And birds of a wing flocking together.
Experiments fail, trying again.
Experience showing how, where, and when.
Observing the sun lifting the morning
Vibrating, warming the sweet oxygen.
And we say: Don't fly too high!
The winds are much too strong!
Don't fly too high!
Come back! Come back
To where you belong!
Envisioning vistas, dizzying heights.
Racing with stars and meteorites.
Plummeting earthward, heart in throat.
Wonderful hungers, strong appetites.
Tasting it, living it, not just in dreams.
Making reality more than it seems.
Inventing a walkway to where you would go.
There, never here, and no in-betweens.
And we say: Don't fly too far!
The road home is too long!
Don't fly too far!
Come back! Come back
To where you belong!
Never too high to tumble back down,
Never too low for fear you might drown.
Never too fast, risking a crash
Never too slow, steady you go.
Never too far to lose your way.
Never too close, never to stay.
Never too loud, never too proud
Never too strong, never allowed.
Never too happy, never too bright.
Never in darkness, never in light.
Never on accident, never as planned.
Never blessed but never damned.
Never beginning thus never an end.
Never an enemy, never a friend.
Never relax, never pursue.
Never, it's me, so never, it's you...
