              true spirit

music on this moon-frost night
sadness in a thousand chords
all thoughts trend to emptiness
amid the indifferent shadows
   and press of years
her fine, true spirit … missing
memories sweet and cruel

Of all those gone...

this circles the world
families, friends,
and those we don't even
know.

Kudos, sir....

you did well.

I miss them all so very much...

Every time I go on a clean energy rant, I miss Kacy having my back. I miss Marge, every full moon. My coffee is not as sweet without sy's sonnets, and so many others who fought such a good fight without ever seeming to fight.

*hugs* you.

I especially like "sadness in a thousand chords" what exquisite words to describe loss. A truly beautiful poem and fitting tribute to those dear to you.x
