GOD BE WITH YOU TILL WE ALL MEET AGAIN
28 June 2003

Pain
wrenched at
my heart today
and holds it yet
in a torturous grip.
What I have feared
for a long while
has come to pass.
We, Flicka and I,
mourn your passing
and disappearance
oh sentinel trees
and you two still there
and standing tall
we will be with you
in spirit
when your times comes
and we know that will be soon.

We revere you all
and thank you
for guarding
over Flicka’s grave
for as long as you were able.

We will meet again in Heaven
- you all,
standing tall
and green
and young again;
and Flicka galloping around you,
bucking in bonding happiness
with us;
and me warm and happy again
on Flicka’s back
with my arms around his
pillar of love and strength
neck,
revelling in our
togetherness,
trees and horse and woman.

Oh, I do so understand the sorrow you must have experienced with the felling of those two sentinel trees standing on guard over Flicka's resting place. It pains me to see a tree unceremoniously struck down. I swear I can hear them scream! Trees have spirits and they have auras. I'm an avid tree-hugger.

"revelling in our
togetherness,
trees and horse and woman."

What a beautiful soul you have, my friend!

Dear Diana, I feel like joining in yours and Flicka's prayer-song for the trees. This tugs at my heartstrings ever so strongly, you know!

Love,
Margherita

Thanks, Linda.  However, the trees (which previously - before Flicka was buried there - been struck by lightning and had nor leaves at all, nor much in the way of branches) weren’t felled.  They fell down (not at the same time) in the natural course of events.

Thanks for the hugs, Kacy.  I know how well you understand.

Thanks, Margherita.  I know you do.  I remember a poem you wrote about a tree too.

This is so full of love... as is the poet who penned it. Hugs to you, dear lady!

Thank you, Ida.  I’m glad it did.

Thank you, Ruth.  You don’t know how well-timed your kindness and warmth are.

Thank you, Lindsay.  My horse was/is Love personified.
