to Aunt Juli ~ My Tribute~ (Rest In Peace) xo

Angel with a broken wing

The sky is grey

a chill in the late springtime air,

yet, silent Snow will fall soon

I am sure.

Although I cant make sense of things,

For certain.

You aren’t here.

A Loss so deep, & numbing

do not want to believe it...is true,
I feel lost and cant think

I want to call, out to you

Silence in the woods

and a leaf blows into the river

Cold water of these lands

Where we grew up

shared much

the realness of Love, life, laughter and loss

aimless and weighless now
Floating upon the cold waters swift current

Farther away, until out of sight

Dry leaves, & things lost

Like I feel thinking of you tonight

Smell of summer in your hair,

Beautiful smile & your careless way

You taught me how to shine..

Shine and be real,

all the time.

I’m looking for direction

I hear the winds,

Pointing me to the pines
 out here in the country

..Whispering that you’re home

Held inside all that is true

With close family and friends.

All beauty that is you.

You taught us how to shine.

On a day calm and serene

we will all join hands Whole again ,

as the light will show

It will be seen.

Till then I know your there,

just above me,

Certain I can hear you there.

Laughing and caring

As you were here.

My angel~

With a broken wing.

I love you so Dear!
