Leaning My Heart On Your Soul

Lately
When I go walking
Dogs and I
I walk to the nearby
Memorial Wall
whose simple message

 

calls my name

I stop by the wall
Made in memory of Robina Steiner
And read
words
that fill my heart with courage

 

 

to live on

 

 

It is by the memory wall that I find
the right words
to have inscribed
in my new ring
a band of eternal love
the only bridge
to that other world
where I can rest my heart

Leaning my Heart on your Soul



A Heavy Weight

The weight of his coffin
is bearing down on me
This morning
I did not want
to get out of bed
Did not want to face
the world alone.

I have to put the coffin
down
Stretch
Shift the weight
Hoping that the
Weight
will lighten with time
