The day is closing in a grungy gloaming of air filled with particles that are wet fitting feel for those in mourning While across the veil no longer chained light and feathered flight proclaimed surrounding joy and music made of opening Still the flesh can feel the splinters as the bones of upright walking lay down the scream and see the passage They call a tortured plea for life to keep to late to stay the gate they hear its quiet closing Not possible to see the light the drain of life is so enclosing it trickles back into the pool and torches flicker with the grim of how and why and how again Shhh he calls in lullaby to baby's cry there is no end only filigree of silk blooming then a melting prism encompassing of perfect quilt ---------- from 10-21-02, in memory of my nephew Jeff, who died a year ago today from colon cancer. |

Not possible to see the light the drain of life is so enclosing it trickles back into the pool and torches flicker with the grim of how and why and how again ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Isn't life strange, like a prism circles around and reflects a different light every time. This is a tribute worth a thousand words, and I am so thankful just to read you. Bless you Martie girl. |

Still the flesh can feel the splinters as the bones of upright walking lay down the scream and see the passage They call a tortured plea for life to keep to late to stay the gate they hear its quiet closing Chilling in the intense wrench of grief... and yet beautiful... for they speak love. Such an excellent write, lady. |

The sense of melancholy in this is overwhelming...beauty, yet sorrow...this is a wonderful way in which to remember your nephew and to honor him. ~*Krista Lee Knutson*~ |

Only one thing to say about a poem like this: I love the way you say it, but I wish you didn't have to. Ratleader had it right. |

How tragic--and Jeff must have been young if you were his aunt. Your words ring softly ~ yet sadly ~ in my heart...  To Eternal Love & Light, Linda |

Love the poem Martie. You took the rest of my words away from me...feeling kind of choked up. Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

Excellent memorial poem, Martie The poem is complex, but needs be so, considering the theme... Poets do not choose their topics, the topic chooses them....your muse chose well. We must write about the dark, as well as the light........ice/ford |
