In funereal procession
I gaze through a haze while
The days file away
Marching in dirge style
Nights fall like wounded soldiers they
Form orderly crosses
Marking cemetery rows . . .

We're dealing with a sudden and unexpected loss in the family. We just lost my mother in law. It came without much warning to us, partly because we are 3000 miles away from the family and . . .

It is one year today that Orion left us. It has been heavy on my mind all week. Both my nephew and Orion's mother have been having a tough week and I feel for them. We went yesterday . . .

Neighborhood
She could have been living in the center of earth
emitted just this moment without a care for
the twenty years passed in between. A teenaged love . . .

She, unknowing, with stillborn child,
Mellow in her youthfulness,
Loving in her wren-like narrowness,
Chided without humour
With her hawk-like tongue,
The wide paths of her short years.

Cherished(for Muni)
You catch my tears
And drink them
Transmute to mirth
You feed me
How is it in four days, four meals
You find me?
Where near forty years
The fathers four failed . . .

I just want my baby back She says. The black Dress contrasts against
Paleness of her haunted face. Angst Is here. Grief to the brim. The colour of her life dim
With the death of babe . . .

Two Thanksgiving's ago
My beloved father
Died gracefully,
After suffering terribly
From cancer for two years.
I had thought,
That after he died
I had released my burden.
Until . . .

I am sure that 95% of anyone reading this has lost someone, whether it be a relative, friend, parent...even a child. The loss of someone you love is often so devastating that you really don't . . .

To think I almost missed it, walking by
In mud that slurped and suckled at my shoes;
I thought it just a pile of wilted leaves
Discarded from some other recent loss.

Merry Christmas in Heaven
You're with the angels now
Though Christmas will be hard
we'll get through it somehow
We know you are safe
In God's arms you lay
There's smiles and laughter . . .

You walk right by,
You stop to cry,
But never do you see me.
I try to hold your hand,
I try to take a stand,
But you never even notice me.
I'm crying too,

Death to come, but death came in
The depth of night, hidden by
The shadows of the dim lit
Dark; the . . .
