Before the goodbye   write me

immortalize this life
beyond my last gasping breath
beyond my lifeless form in a sarcophagus
beyond silent stark tears that stream
from the eyes of the living
in the place of the dead

   write me in this moment

your words engraved upon my skin
take me apart with your expression
like plucking the petals from a daisy
strip me down
and make me
forever
stark
bare
   and
beautiful

   write me magnificent

find some splendor in me
stitch it into the fabric of time
my story coupled with your tongue and pen
enduring
everlasting
abiding
undying

Of Love and Lightening Bugs

Mommy, I love you so bad
she whispers, with her arms wrapped tightly around me.

   her cherub face looks up into mine-
   springing auburn curls
   and sparkling hazel eyes
   a nose sprinkled with kisses from the sun
   the biggest smile you would never want to dim
   shared especially with me.

Mommy, can I catch a lightening bug and keep it forever?
her words echo into the diminishing sunset.

   I turn away while the words linger for a moment and then fade away
   and the lightening bugs dance on the tops and st

WithoutI can feel it crawl through my veins,
like a scorpion dancing upon my skin
it dances and spins and dives and twirls
like a buzzard swirling over a corpse it wishes to devour
It devours, it corrupts, it attaches and then replicates
like a virus, like a disease taking all; empty of feelings or emotions

and

devoid of conscience
it leaves her
bereft in his wake
and murders
her peaceful sleep
with uneasy dream

Eric Clapton "Tears In Heaven"

[link]
Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.

...the morning of Paige's funeral, the world was covered in ice. It was cold, stark white and very very beautiful. So beautiful, it almost hurt to look.

The thermometer said 1 degree Fahrenheit (-17 C or thereabouts) when I first went out...but in full shade I think it was colder. The most stunning ice fog blanketed the ground and hovered part way up into the sky covering the rising sun. It reminded me of something out of a science fiction novel or a worst case scenario situation. (Knock on wood). Honestly, it was so cold I developed frost on my eyelashes.

I took quite a few images this morning and I will upload about...four I think, in the coming weeks. I should say "we" took them since my friend Jon was on the phone with me most of the time, keeping me company. I think if he hadn't been, my face would have been covered with frost...sigh...

oh...this has an bit of an Orton filter added. To make is softer yet than it was. Fitting I think.
