Poetry list
breath
start at the end
she died with a cross
in her hand and my
hand in the other
and the last words
I love you
the body failed
was stricken
doomed
but living
is more than mechanics
or chemistry
we fly not earthbound
but seeking the heavens
with mind and imagination
the spirit soars
unfettered
breathing a different air
from another realm
live there and thus
learn and share
and teach and give of
this eternal infinity
invading existence
and bringing us to life
let go and only death
is left behind
for love can find us
and take us
to himself
even now
even me
