Snatching a glint
clinching the gossamer veil
held tight by the gulps of terror
I must release
the harshness is easing
slipping through grief's grip
The curtain raises
I gaze out at the new day
vision is found in releasing
I ease over cracks in reality
Yes, I see
I see bright through gloom
I see wings' soaring spirals
I see the mist rising
I see petals unfolding
I see children smiling
I see friends reaching out
I see embracing
I see birds chirping
I see Angels rising
Gossamer Wings Lifting
Love lifting me to new heights
I feel goodness' warm breath
I smell sweet, warm puppy breath
I am melding into shared puddles of love
sheer gooseflesh
I let go
letting go means moving out
moving out means finding a new way
finding a new way means searching
searching means exploring
exploring leads to new vistas
new vistas bring new life
Yesterday is past
remembering is good
good means longing for the past
longing is heathy in celebration
Celebrate the Loss
Place the alter high for all to see
Pay homage to those who have gone before
Be a faithful heir
Guard the faith, then
Champion the Faith
May peace visit you
may peace grace you
may you find peace
may you become peaceful
Be whole,
again
