Today an Angel was born
in hope transformed
from woman and daughter
to memories
Hollow arms, empty
crave for her warmth
they stretch, defeated
in search of her presence
Patches of laughter
echo through silence
in light and shadow
her energy is captured
Forever young
Forever loved
Forever
Angel

For Nancy and Paul, who lost their daughter Heather.
She is now reunited with her brother Declan.
Much love,
Marion
Lost in memories
I am so sorry
that you could not love
my loved ones more
the ones I care about too
whether two or four legged
the ones I can’t
I won’t
live without
You were part of my life
but day by day
you drove me a little bit further away
until you could no longer reach me
until I shut down, and out
slammed the doors to my heart
shut tight
to stop the bleeding
I care about you still
but can not share my life
with you anymore
I need more
I am more
than what you want me to be
let me be
I need to be
me

I wrote this for Writing 101: Serially Lost: Today, write about a loss. The twist: make this the first post in a three-post series.

Plans
and so many dreams
I have for you, sweetheart
your road is paved
with solid bricks
in graceful patters
quick, but with imagination
relaxed, yet with passion
and always forward
~
The road you follow now
has too many curves
to my liking
twists
sideways
even dead ends
but tastes differ
you sense life
and feel it your way
~
I let go of your hand
wave and smile at you
and watch while you take
a different path
with head held high
a byway
that in time
will surely become
your highway
~

it’s enough
dear friends
absolutely enough
I have enough
plain enough
I have had enough
of violence
discontent
of more
bigger
better
faster
it’s enough
more than enough
be happy
with who you are
and remember
enough
is good enough
YOU
are good enough!

In 2014 my thoughts and actions will be guided by ENOUGH. Taking a step back in stead of rushing headlong into the madness of the daily stress-race. Taking a moment to enjoy what we have and live in that moment. Because it truly is enough.
Come, tell me! 🙂
Wishing you all a happy New Year, with enough…

his long walk on earth
has finally ended
Nelson Mandela
now lingers in heaven
and it is up to us
to you and me
to follow in his footsteps
to continue
find new ways
and lead
over the rim
to freedom

Rest in Peace

she was more
than she could ever be
taller than life
for his love
lifted her
yet humbled
in gratitude
where,
blossomed
into wholeness,
souls met
