Reminisce One Even when I know to expect that sneak of the surprise, that singular moment when you are still here with me ~ because you really haven’t left yet… even when I know… the snick and snip of that sneaked surprised oh still leaves me in some blue wonder…like, why I haven’t really cried yet, and why haven’t I really cussed yet, or even thrown anything in bewilderment, or wonder why I can’t hate Him… just because it really doesn’t matter that you just started your sixth decade…it was still too soon… too soon… Oh, I had such good news, too… I can, even now, hear myself chatting your ear off as you smile at the end of your tin can, there, the string pulled taut along the miles, (you, alone, in your own home where the vegetable ground now lies dormant in your back yard that bore the fence you put in, the yearly complaint over summer that your Phoenix dirt was thirsting) with your dogs around you, as they lay on your feet, begging for a treat… and I am glad they didn’t need to follow you into some blue wonder, too soon…. that reminisce snick stung. And I know the real flood for Phoenix isn’t too far behind. I miss you. And I miss your I told you so over the good news I wanted to share with you. I love you. |

 (angel comfort hugs) Oh Karilea, as always your poetry is sooooooo honest and soooooo heartfelt, sweet friend. I know with all my heart that the one you've dedicated this most glorious ode to has heard all this good news and is smiling from up above down on you as always, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |

Karilea, she did say, "I told you so!" when she learned of your good news. It is just that her voice is much softer now. Love & Eternal Light, Linda |

why I haven’t really cried yet, and why haven’t I really cussed yet, or even thrown anything in bewilderment, or wonder why I can’t hate Him… Because numb is a protection wrapping itself around us, even when it's not welcome... and because hate gives way to knowing you were blessed... even if not long enough. Oh, yes... this definitely needs a kleenex alert... even for those of us who're waiting still to really cry... Beautiful work! |

Oh my, sweet Karilea....I really felt this one. It touched my heart so. I could only think of my own Mother as I was reading your beautiful and heartfelt poem. We are so close, and talk about so much. I honestly hate to think of not having her to talk to. Yet, I always think I will. I also feel your Dad is right there seeing you as your dreams are coming true, sweet lady!! The part about your not crying yet really did touch my heart. Such pain is revealed here. I'm so glad you can write it out, my friend. Heart hugs and love to you, Ethel  |
