This is a poem about a beautiful girl that died of cancer........Used to go boating with her. First love the strong one!

The rain on the cabin windows
drifts like rinse waves in a car wash.
My fingers searching minor sevenths,
my ardent gaze the portside rail,
to see Jazna leaning there.

The summer's marbled skies spread wide
our trolling laughter buffed with spray,
her listing form against the rail.
I tune to open G where all
blues and heartaches follow when.

From sacred space her spirit falls,
a surreal vision cosmos sent.
Devolved from humid heavy mist
her blue-eyed radiance beams
in quandom pose leaning there.

With sudden suck of breath to heart,
my ebbing guitar descants play
to searing pains of her demise.
I cry out with odes and tears
to see Jazna leaning there

Ain't doin nothin at all
Just answerin the call
Kinda driftin away from it all~~~~~

Oh Eric, this is powerful in it's rendition. It must have been an awesome memory.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

This morning theres a calm I cant explain
By the time I recognize this moment it will be gone,  
I will bend light pretending it lingers on

It's not always easy sharing things
so very personal.

Thank you, Ethome.
