i’m grateful that the sun rose for me this morning
but for a couple of my friends, this past year, it did
not for they have journeyed from this world onto
a transcendent realm
i ponder upon, what most of us wonder, after the
loss of ‘loved ones’ as to which of us are the more
fortunate and, will the memory of each other reside
within us in perpetuity?
although, when i see the tree before me and our
feathered friends perched upon its limbs laying
praise with their songs for the rising sun, and so
i question no longer, just witness and appreciate
for those who have departed from this mundane
existence would not wish for me anything other than
living life while being fully present by allowing my
spirit to dance and sharing the love they left with me
so, if nothing more when i depart, i wish to leave
with some words that might touch your heart and
maybe, just maybe your
spirit will also enjoy the
joy of dance
