In Loving Memory


You left five years

ago today

such an abrupt departure

a large part of my heart went away


Your spirit lingers

blowing in the breeze

autumn colors in the landscape

whistling in the leaves


A jay visits the feeder

the color of the blue in your eyes

playfully jumping around

then rising to the sky


Thinking you I smile

with redness in my cheeks

my heart grows larger

slowly each week


Autumn aromas

scents from a loving past

leaves with love letters

love continues to last


An autumn pear

falls from your tree

a reminder of wonderful times

drawing you closer to me


Together our spirits rise

riding a bicycle in the sky

a promise made long ago

true love never dies

The following video is from an adventure Bill and I had at cypress swamp on the Natchez Trace in 2017. It was a beautiful day and the calmness of the swamp still captures my spirit. Fly high my love.
