DEPARTURE dedicated to my sister Kathy

Departure

I cannot go where you go now

There among the stars

And unending night........

I cannot follow in your airy footsteps

Or fly on the gossamer wings

That have been granted

In the taking of your life

And the bestowing of the death

Of the best and brightest of all companions

I can only grieve and regret now

Wondering if by loving you more

I could have kept you fastened

More firmly on this infirm planet

And preserved physically the essence

That made you who you are.........

That will keep you who you always will be

Here in this heart now that's deprived of your joy

Here in this mind now that is filled with your memory

Here in this house now that is haunted by your face.
