~
an arrival obscure
white package austere
makes its debut with the daily post;
an advent surreal
no ordinary mail
this addressed to his last known abode.
how could they have know
he’d moved up in this world
to a parcel up high on a hill;
where the air is more clean
the grass there grows green
adorned with granite and daffodil.
“Overdraft Settlement” it read
“a few years overdue,” i said!
softly weeping, his mother’s response.
over-burdened, and under a cloud
fervent prayers she utters aloud
yet nothing but silence from that “beyond.”
no settlement, no check can ever replace
the comfort she seeks in seeing his face,
what she would trade for one last goodbye;
each daybreak one closer to final sunset
she searches for answers she doubts she will get,
yet each morning she rises with a hope of reply.
but maybe, it is just this...
a “reply” as good as it gets;
these messages showing that he’s not forgotten.
though perhaps meager the payment,
like a gift of heaven-scent,
each a reminder, his presence from heaven.
*~ postscript ~
party to a class action for exorbitant overdraft fees, a settlement check arrived this week with his name on it. it is five long years since we laid him to rest, yet it is reminders like this that can leave us short of breath and stir up every imaginable emotion we have felt in this loss. but, if we still our hearts and quiet our minds we can see hope, like a sliver of sun ray breaking through a ceiling of dark clouds, shining down from heaven to give us a reminder of him… his presence from heaven.*

When it Rain I feel energized. When it Snow I day dream, when it's Sunny I seem Happier, when it's cloudy my mind is full of thoughts about life, now I understand the feelings I get when it Rains, Snow, when it's Sunny, Cloudy. I'm a Energized person full of Big Dreams and a very Happy woman who have great views about life.

To be what they want
Is to win a battle
To be who you are
Is to win a war

I Humble Myself,
My knees on the ground
Silence before his greatness
My head is bowed
Riches cannot protect us
All will be destroyed
But my God is merciful,
leaving the good untouched.

On my special day it was no sign of you that's good to know, I so thought you and I was meant to be that's good to know, call me a fool thinking you was the one that's good to know, was it me, was it the God in me, was it my heart, was it my true beauty, was it my inner different, was I too real it's good to know in the truth I have peace I wish you the best and lots of success Moving on is what I'm used to that's good to know oh my poor heart it's sealed with Gods love that's good to know No hate in my heart that's good to know!

The first time I realized how to love you,
was the second I surrendered.
When I finally gave up.
And let go of loving myself.
I have constructed more reasons to hold on than I have equipment for.
So letting go will be the first thing I do.
Next,
Well I have not planned that far.
I know if I love with all of my existence, I can’t fail.

*Enough is exhaustion, it's had it too hard, it's been too strong for too long,
enough is through*
