LOVING MEMORY
The silence has been thick since you fled from earth
and hurled yourself into the spirit world
Sometimes I almost see you in the distance
but then I become disappointed when I catch up to your image
and it disappears
I still carry your soul in my pocket
Your spirit still breathes in things that I do
I feel you often as you watch over the world
It's nice to know that you are near and that you know
You will never be forgotten.
(this was written in 1999 after a friend of mine died in a terrible accident - it means alot to me now and describes how I feel about my winged baby MacumbaJoe)
TOO MUCH DEATH HERE
Frozen in our hearts is grief
with memories of you so clear
reaching
touching but you're not here
faded ashes
you have fled
we sink to sadness
with the thought that you are
dead
Quiet comfort
is not welcome much
jaded
scarred
we ache so deep
for your tender touch
Once before us
was a smile
a recognition
that we exist
but
with your soul we can find
ourselves
though we lost
sometimes
in the midst
Left behind to wander free
so at peace we should be
Standing alone
without fear
is just a pipe dream
without you here
Burdens of the morning hours
as your spirit talks to those
who gently lose their
guided will
we ask that you repose
your sanctity above
will bring some welcomed cheer
with grief filled days
as we see you work
through the sorrowed haze
TAROT OF TRANSFORMATION
There was transformation
There was he
There was bonded triumph
Alchemy
Must we rid this tired bone
of waste
Changing what we can
Without our haste
Miles that are between us
Never die
Lines of clouds outline
the path of sky
Still each and every one of us
Must glide
Into another plane
From this we hide
So on we go into the earth
again
Reliving what we've learned
to keep us sane
Although our progress cannot be fulfilled
We graduate our depths
of youth until
Those who capture something of
our pain
are destined to repeat it
once again
But once you have let go you will
Move on
Rejoicing for your flight
You're an angel now
Sing your song
Suffering is no more
NOT FLESH, NOT BLOOD, NOT BONE.....
(written the night my adoptive father died...we had a highly charged negative relationship, however, despite that, he taught me many life lessons )
Not flesh, Not blood, Not bone
Nocturnal struggles
of house ..., of home
my restless blood followed me there
beneath the country air
Imagination of far away places
Made me long for
Unfamiliar faces
Conflict high
as moon
Made you mad
so soon
Yet in your peril torn and thin
I will meet your soul
Anger rested, truth is tested
Yearning to be free
Not old....
Now I apart from you - will reach
Gently to the sky
Smiling at your silver wings
Waving me good bye.
Fly On Little Brother

Fly On Little Brother
Fly on little brother bird, into the arms of the Goddess, into the
heavens
May your spirit be free and safe,
May your travels take you to the land of rest, until the time for you
to come home again.
Although your family grieves for you, they know that your energy is
needed somewhere else.
We know that we will be ok and time... will heal all wounds.
You will sing with the wind, and flutter with the leaves of springtime.
Our spirits will meet again.
Fly on little brother bird, into the arms of the Goddess.
So Mote It Be!
Big Hugs and Many Blessings, Debbie
