For N.N.
I have heard your spirit sigh-
it is the sound the desert makes
after rain

I felt a ghost of you brush by-
a phantom kitten weary of the
tangled skein

I can see that you have Leda's eyes-
it means you know that fate can
come disguised

swan-like, making mute your cries-
until your silent, soul-voice
tries

to make a sound another soul might entertain-
the sound of butterflies, beating wings at
kinship's doors

be silent now, and rest. we are in part the same-
I have heard, the door is opened,and my spirit
welcomes yours

across the land of dreams. In your heart, I'd always be.

Thankya, my friend..


Waft every crest upon your destined sea
Embrace the Wave of Serendipity
Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy
Refurl with sail for all eternity

Deep and touching -- necessitates more than one reading to appreciate it truly.
