It is not unfamiliar
          to lose a Love that
We Know
Will
Be Everlasting.

The crazy days of our Youth
when we met upon the church steps
Like the blood of Jesus
We thought
That
Our Love
would
Be Everlasting.

And Sacred.

Our Hands held together
By a Love
that we thought
would
Be Everlasting.

But sadness came
Like the shift of the Ocean Winds
              Unknown to our Open Hearts
Filled with a Love.

That night as the wind blew across the South Dakota Plains and we watched star -filled night

ILLUMINATING
                                OUR SOULS.
WE KNEW
That our Love
could Never
Be Everlasting!

With her Delicate Nature
        She Holds Me.
                    A Closeness,
             Filling me up
                                  I savor
AND
           With Her Delicate Warm Embrace

We
       Merge
                    Into One
AND
                                                  DISAPPE­AR.

To a New place
To a  New time
                           Where we are safe.
Amidst the Snow Covered Mountains where we first walked
                                 UPON
The Billowy, white grey rain clouds,
And
As the rain falls
        Upon the Earth
                    Filling the Desert Land  
And
Replenishing all that it Fills up.

              FLOATING THERE
OUR LOVE
                    Moves
                          as the Wind song carries us

          Our Love
                           So Delicate
                                                Is Eternal
And
           We are safe.

This is our present life
                                        in May of 2020
And
The sky is a beautiful Blue
                   with soft Wisps of White clouds
Carried by the soft wind breeze
from the Ocean currents of the Pacific.
Always new
Always changing
as we now know how we are changing
MOMENT TO MOMENT
And all around
The Shadow of Green leaf
Moves
                to the Winds
                        Indiscriminate shift
Darkness and Light
MOMENT TO MOMENT
                           I sit upon my chair
The Desert Heat of the Sonoran
Warms my Being
                 with a warmth
                                   That heals and Awakens me
To the Hallucinatory vision of all Souls
Who have moved from this Earth's vision
And
Into a new and Unknown Place
BUT
Please do not Fear
YOU ARE SAFE

Our nightmare Monster is here!
Out of the closet
                            from under the bed
THE MONSTER IS HERE!
                       GOOD NIGHT MOON?

Wind blowing
                         Outside My Window
And
         As I watch the leaves
Dancing to this Windsong.
My thoughts
                    Carry me back
To Thoughts of you!
The Lovely Ballerina moving upon the stage floor.
Softly moving
Graceful.........................Ethereal
Those Green and Yellow leaves
              Dancing
Bring me back
To the Ballerina I Love.
