For Phylis G. Hesley, My Stepmother... Rest In Peace... Aug 8, 2011

Walking alone
in the warm moonlight,
lightning bugs flashing softly
and forlornly, for me this night. 

My legs feel like lead,
my arms they barely swing...
An empty warmth fills my head 
with the Silent Knowing it brings...

The Mother of others and me 
quietly, she passed away...
Her memories will fade for some,
and yet, her Possibilities, they gleam!

She did her best for others,
and in her salty and colorful way,
she gave love to father and family,
and I'm thankful for Her this day. 

I pray she has peace and love 
and her new adventure she enjoys.
I pray she learns of the Light and the Dark
and that Knowing she will employ. 

I'm a little jealous of her this night...
But I'm pleased for her Knowing,
because I Know she Knows now the
Knowledge, and she positively glows of it! 

Her Silent Knowing is hers,
and after passing through the veil,
God serves her love and compassion,
so, my family, there is no need to wail. 

She wings!
She soars!
And her Soul
is Free!

With no need of time for her,
who on Earth can really know her 
Boundlessness and Endlessness
and what her Soul may come To Be?

Perhaps she'll sail the universe?
Maybe she'll be a song of birds?
Or maybe she'll be just a drop of rain?
Perhaps of these things she's longed...

If You were in her place,
what songs of your new universe
could You, and would You,
happily and loudly sing?
