After the Funeral Vibes: Mrs Nita Douman
Walking out of church into the autumn morning
Among many this overwhelming feeling
There are no bad people, no addicts this day
Too beautiful and clean: the tall tree, the air, sky
Such a calmness descends
All seems well - no addictions
Not a day to spend frivolously
The gifts of God, generously
Given has sunk into all hearts
Thank you Mrs. Douman, fondly

The emptiness may seem very hard to bear but at some point, I encourage you

Memories of You Live On
When sadness grips my weeping soul and the days seem gloom and hopeless,
memories of you live on and linger like a gentle breeze passing through the leaves on a tree. When I am in denial and still cannot 'come to grips' that you are gone; when my heart is heavy and I sigh and often

Dialogue Poetry - Poetry's Memorial Service
The funeral was a surprise to all
writers
Bury me!!!
Poetry shouted
Bury me and leave no trace

Drag lyrical baskets in caskets,
Make believe world,
Imagery paint me living,
Word breathing and I see the
light
Tell me lies,
Craft sweet lines,
Render me
