winding round your words
like satin ribbons through braids
your grief becomes mine
I will shoulder your burden
help you untangle your mind

I am laughing through tears, and no dearheart, not at your lovely poem, it was just...well as I read this:

"help you untangle your mind"

I remembered a poem I wrote once that referred to my mind as the world's largest ball of twine. *giggling and sniffing* Maybe we could hire a crew from Home Depot or something?

and hugging you too

thank you thank you thank you dear friend and sis.

Chris, your words are indeed
a balm...

and the braiding of them
was with gentle hands...
