Hold Tight

a silver Night floats webbed wings

which catch and hold to sticky things

like Souls who've traveled miles too far

who need their rest - they leave us here, with questions -

Will she ever find an answer?

the chasm's depth and dark seems too huge, beyond belief

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hold tight to our angels

Hold them to you in this LifeTime

(almost forty-nine years, no, that can't be Time enough)

Hold tight to our angels.

I don't want you to grieve -

I feel so sad for you

I am only sadness in this Moment of your pain

Hold tight to our angels- love them-

may be all we can do

Science hasn't found a way to change Her wicked ruthless Nature

Hold tight, o teacher mine-

Years fall away like pages that you helped me to adore;

the Years fall away and I remember you Joyful,

a newly-wed Idealist

who only 

blessed my World

(yes, you did)

I wish I could lighten your burden.

I close my eyes; send up a chorus of doves into the ether,

that they float to you, assuage your pain;

I send up a drove of doves to light your dark,

a kiss for your SoulMate...

Hold tight, Mrs. G.
