 I found you here, the only place where the grass grows on its own, it seems, but perhaps, from tears… under these spreading cypress trees where spirits roam in softer light ~ seeing beyond lone shadow’s bleak, not knowing this lonesome, echoing, grief not that I would have you with me now, you who were so sick of living, so ready to find a way out that you hadn’t been whole for such a long time, but I miss you… if you were to return, unbroken, able to enjoy this brief stay on earth, to hold once more the light you saw in me, sitting here, ’neath this tree to spend a moment in the dwell of our childhood, again, in that innocence before the stripping of fantasy and dream, into reality and screams, you endured a lot of hardships, Iambe… we thought you were the stronger of us all… even stronger than Jake we looked up to you, you must know that, sit here with me just a little longer, let my thoughts let you go then I will go but I’ll remember this bench and I’ll bring Dana back, soon, to visit you and we’ll sit here, and talk of those times when you smiled.

nicely done.... funny... not at all how I pictured where she lay in rest...but, perhaps it beats the empty field at the end of Clarks road I had in mind... you and Ross have done well... very well... |
