Hello Mary

Updated: Jan 27, 2019





I would think that it would be

No big deal

To pass on from this world

Having lived and loved to the fullest

Having walked

Thousands of miles

Having penned

Poems

Of remembrance

In a world so hell bent on forgetting


It is beautiful here

I tell you!

Not unlike the shimmer of the lake

The wisp in the trees

The stillness of being alone

On a trail with wings high above

And all around

With dazzling sparkle

Oh, sunlight through the morning fog

I used to think

That nothing could be more wondrous.


You have reminded me of the power

Of putting one foot in front of another

That to write and to write true

You only need three eyes

Two feet

One hand

And a small small piece of tattered paper


A notebook is more practical.


Indeed.


I can be

A simple old lady

In a black sweater

In tennis shoes

And a shopping bag

Walking in a sea coast town

In the cold and fog


And carry

Moonbeams

And supernovas

Inside.
