(this poem is for a friend who is slowly passing from a rare brain disease)

Morning.

open up

your sleepy

eyes,



like a cat

stretching out

on a

sun sprinkled

front

porch step.



slow down

your racing

mind.



sit and watch

the fire

of life begin

all around

you.



stay warm

in it's

embrace.



walk awhile

kiss the

clouds to

mend  your

broken heart.



and wait

for a

moment

until they

kiss you

back.



and the air

holds

you and

the sky

loves you

and you

are apart

of everything

that you

see.

take a

moment and

breathe,



and at

that moment

I will

feel it too.
