But the words still find me With my clenched fist Reminding me I have to keep swimming They said "There are better ways to move through the ocean than kicking" So I hope when the pressure drops I learn to stop panicking long enough To float Like life is the dead sea And if I run into Andrea, I am taking them with me

My Favourite Poet Died
and just like that you were gone   the good light dimming     as it sank below      the horizon of life    and slowly slipped     to the secret places       only known to moonlight         and butterflies and its true... our hearts   are heavy with grief    but we are fortunate     that you gave us      so much to love        that you gave us          so much love that even though our hearts    are heavy with the news today we can take comfort in knowing    that your memory     and everything you gave to us in your life    will one day soon     make our hearts smile again that even from wherever   you may be hiding now    that we will laugh and sob     and grieve and find joy      with you again       and again        and again   and I know when    we need it most     we will find you in the good light again

good light
What use is moonlight? I reach into it, fingers open, And my hand is silvered And blessed, and comes back to me holding nothing. I started wishing on the stars in the sky instead. I said to the sun, tell me about the Big Bang. The sun said, "It hurts to become".
