I propped her up on a flow of words.
She hung in a rather precarious way,
fluttered about like a wind-tossed bird.

when it isn’t forced,
when it is freely sought
and freely ended.
image by Ralf Skirr on UnsplashA breeze as gentle as can be
rises above the northern sea,
slips beyond a starry sky,
brushes him with a wishful sigh.
It ruffles softly through his hair,
dusts lilting bits of sweetness there,
each dear, familiar melody
awash in love and memory.
Waldemar Brandt on UnsplashI stood beside your grave one day,
not too long ago.
It was an extra visit, for
my heart was feeling low.

but now I realize
my pocket had a hole in it,
just about your size.

and brought my soul to peace.
Soft words I knew, whispered by you,
provided sweet release.
