From these skies...now to another

....parties to plan,
the boys first kiss...
The babie's christening party...
The house is a mess,
The mortgage is late...

Removed from the human sphere in an instant,
you no longer wait,
no longer fearing the next day...the next hour...

It is gone for you and yours.
From these skies, you have descended...
now to another you ascend.
Aloft upon the wafting breeze...
you know your way home.

There are many with you now,
but you will soon be alone...
how else to make this journey familiar?
To whom shall you turn to recognise your
fields of green?

...kin you are now...

to the shadows and dimmed corners of the parlors, of the homes
that still reverberate with the sounds and gaiety of life...
you will sate there and listen to the gossip and whispers
of which are only some distant memories to you...
but as you do...

Remember that no breeze goes unnoticed in a barren desert,
The flower brings more to the heart than it's essence...
You may have disappeared to those whom you loved and knew...
and yes there is loss and pain abound as you reach for the Sun.

The sum of every soul, is perhaps...
the subsumption of it's previous incarnations,
once missed,  thrice reborn.

Walk to the shores of your memories past.... lift your eyes
to the Light of Life.  Do you smell the familiar breeze
just now passing?

They are soon to greet you,
You are home ...
You are Safe...
Make tall your stories tonight,
that  All may relish and live your Life
once again!!

"....Having Never Left"
(For My Beautiful Love....Sally)


...it parts from me ever slowly,
the chance and the pace of a not so distant past...

...the rune suggests that all is well however,
casting times a plenty all through these winter nights;
...tumbling and resting on open and closed sides,
I peer upon the oak coins...looking for sight,
and forlorn grace.

...i see you tonight, or rather sense you here...
as though a ghost,
 vis-a-vis...
soul to soul.

Touching your face ...and openly declaring the contents of my Heart,
I pour the sacred mead, and my promise to you upon this broken ground,
knowing it to be reckoned ,  and soon to be healed.

I have always loved you...
souls having touched once...
remain steady, despite the facade of separation.
this I know,

I have always loved you.

....having never left,
I will always love you.
