If you need something from somebody always give that person a way to hand it to you.
- The Secret Life of Bees - Sue Monk Kidd
for some strange reason
I thought of you today
and realised
I was missing you
on the meme waves
just a little Googling
and there was the post
a finale post
you began February with
your 82nd birthday
by the 11th February
your daughter posted
that you had suffered a stroke
by the end of February
your goodbye
but I could not let it be
goodbye
your fancy free
poetry
needed
re-connection
your first poem
for the year
penned here
just yesterday
Friday 27th September
yes
only yesterday
your theatrical
witty gems
your spirit
breathed again
glowed
touched
travelled
synchronised
my veiled songlines
and made them smile
for the angels
the universe sings
in mysterious ways
and having sung
moves on
UPDATE NOTE
Now that a few people have commented on this poem,
I have returned to Brenda's post on Rinkly Report
and invited her to read this and your comments.
I hope she enjoys.
