Soon
Gentle friend
You will know the secrets
The earth keeps for us
You will know what happens next,
What all the fuss is about
Soon
Gentle friend
You will fly
soar above it all
Unlace your shoes
Leave their weight behind
Soon
Gentle friend
you will enter our hearts
Be everywhere at once
Yet nowhere at all
Effervescent as a butterfly
Dedicated to Orit
Have a safe trip my dear friend

Fred, all I can say is I experienced such a sense of calm and peacefulness in reading this, what a wonderful piece.

Thank you so much Joann. It is what I hope for, for my friend as well.

It made me think of Sophie when I read it. I do so wish I could leave a star hear, and a few hearts as well.

Oh, I can see, even without having met her, that it is perfect for her.
Posted by morraha on June 24, 2012
Yeah... :) She was a sweet little girl.

Magnificent and beautiful. I shall refer to this often. What a perfect farewell

Thank you Ray-of-Sunshine. I was a little surprised that the words came out this way, almost whimsical. You never know what gifts can hide in unlikely places.

Oh Fred - what a beautiful farewell - and what a hopeful and faith filled poem, faith in the universality and endlessness of love and the infinity of spirit.

Thank you Lianne. So much to learn in this world, and one thing I am coming to accept is that nothing is without meaning, not even the loss of loved ones.
