Karma flashed us a wink and a nod as we sat easy, admiring the moment, watching the flicker of hope’s flame dance in the fading light of dusk, nature soothing our wounds and wiping the tears from our cheeks, at peace, blessed

With loss we often reflect

I was never one who handled tragedy well I can hear the shattering fragments of my heart cut away at my soul Leaving hollowed out voided sorrow Melancholy madness I long to hold those I love tightly Not loosening my grip One someone in particular But that’s the thing with death Some lay in our graveyard while they’re still living Others feel the flutter of rose petals falling on their skin And hear the earth envelop their casket

I dig my fingernails into the dirt and scream But I have no voice I am not heard Tears drained till the well is desert like All we amount to is dust

The only eternity is found within the memories of those who loved us

The rain brings to life a part of myself that tends to linger in the shadows shielding itself from the sun, I’m listening to the trickle and tap of drops on my roof’s shingles & the rustle of Palm tree branches swaying in the murmuring winds- it inspired me to pull out and dust off my records, now I'm being pleasantly serenaded by the crisp tones of Tracy Chapman and Billy Bragg - Sometimes the richest beauty in life happens during the in between moments
