overhead gliders
circling round
the branches bare
haze like halo
shroud the chill
that stains the
wintry air

he remembers

the seasons
rung across
the beams of moon
looking skyward
now

as they know
too
the respite
offfered to
shivering wings

they stop
to kneel
upon your own
aging branches
wearing the
callouses of
stacked upon
winters

the veil of
chifflon blue
connecting worlds
above to seas
below in
eternal
view

on wisps of
clouds
their ascention
then fluttering
omnipresence

unexpected
the touch on
the shoulder

the spirit
lingers
never far
when the
bond is there

you didn't get
to hold
his hand
upon his last
inhalation

softly now
quiet your tears

who do you think
led him through?

he ways knew

upon his
transition
blessed now
with wings

he stayed warm
feeling you
through the
haze of light
birth him
through

peaceful
surrender

he exhaled

feeling
the kiss
of his angel
as he passed
through

etchings on
the heart

he arrived
there
wearing
the eyes
of you

*** for my dear mother, saint rose,haunted, because she wasn't at his bedside for that moment to say goodbye****

That is so sweet and tender.
Especially the ending.

That was so nice of you to write that.
Yeah, that would be sad to not be able to be there, at the end.

But like you said, with a love that deep, you really never can be that far apart.

I hope that all is well for your dear mother, and family.

My sincerest condolonces, on your family's loss.

Take Great Care,
Richy

Beautiful words and very very touching, dear Michelle. I understand your mother's pain though, I too went through this feeling, when I was not near my mother when she passed on.
But the spirit KNOWS. May your dear mother find peace and take to heart your wise and beautiful words.
Love and hugs. Margherita

Beautiful words and sentiment. This was heartfelt and truly enjoyed. While the pain lessens, the memory never fades.

"the spirit

bond is there"

Very moving for the soul and all that aches within us for those past regrets everyone has. Another classic!
