M

She was almost by the Redwood tree ahead of the storm
She couldn’t fly high enough to catch that rainbow
Her father told her when you see a rainbow I will be smiling down at you
She missed him terribly and he died when she was young
A Ranger noticed her wing was not working well and he puts piece of surgical tape on it until a vet or butterfly specialist at the park could see it
As the rainbow appeared she flew happily over the Ranger’s hat
The Monarch with a tear in her wing happily gazed at the rainbow above

In memory of our father who died when we were young

There is a quiet and stillness beyond compare
It is gentle, safe, and strong filled with joy and caring
Nothing Mickey Mouse about it
The world stands still
Even if it is a few minutes or with any luck hours
This is where I would rather be than dealing with a mixed up and confused world that needs to get its act together
In his arms

Fifty years of missing you are coming up soon.
I am fifteen again and reliving that moment.
No matter what others say they have no clue.
When a parent takes their last breath and is gone forever upon their child.
I hear you calling us fellas and discussing fishing.
Bathroom doors still need to be closed for I flashback to that horrible day on August 23.
This is a wound that is scarred and never heals.
I have learned about members of your family just recently and some knew you but we never knew them til now.
Rest in love and we miss you, Dear Daddy

Sorry but have to surround myself with a little less crazy darkness
From you
Whatever the matter is, I am here for you but at a distance for the time being
There is no quick fix and no band-aid to cover and heal the wound or scar
Depression isn’t fun as one who knows all too well
I have lived there and hope never to return
Learning happens every day and hope to be part of your journey when you are ready to welcome me back
Have to hand it to you
Come out of the dark

A noisy crow flew overhead greeting friends, loved
ones, and unsuspecting humans
Sorry I have not written but needed a break from each other
You know that I can’t stay away too long from you
Have to let go temporarily of two people that matter
The Debby downer stuff is getting old but will respect it from a distance
Just as we turn the corner and happier days are hopefully ahead of us
Just have to let them go knowing in the future things will improve and we will enjoy the friendships that have stood the test of time
Letting them go for now.

More than ever possible to have.
Seems more might be necessary but source unknown.
Not sure if tap is dry?
Seems some are too wrapped up in their own to spend time with others or their friends.
So, you do things on your own because you have to be your own best company.
You cancel and delay plans and hope to reschedule.
Spear of the moment isn't as easy as before but hope it will come around again.
Some mean well but need to learn to say nothing if they have nothing nice to share or say.
Patience is a virtue which I hope visits again.
