Dad

May Texas’ strong prevailing winds sweep you north to your favorite campground
Waiting, wrapped in peace and anticipation, for your lifelong love to join you

As sadness rips through us and consolation is momentary and fleeting
We remember you with love — your teasing, your laughter, your deep insights

We wish all could be different…
But no amount of wishing can change the hole in our hearts

That last instant glancing back at you
The sadness across time and space
All of us understanding it was a final moment together

With time the hurt will recede
Replaced with floods of fondest memories

Husband, Dad, Grandpa, Great-Grandpa…

Know that your sense of adventure and incredible ability to conquer the world
Thrives in your family and legacy

Rain gone

Steam floats, surrounds with dawn,

burns off…

Today!

Clear blue frames greens

sharp tipped, round, sap – drip, drip,

greens lime & iridescent,

greens deep, dark, black…

Rotate!

Shadows sharp as a briar’s sting

No haze,

no smudge of summer

too soon here…

Gather!

Laughter of friends, family

Cocoon of love, harmony

Thank you, Life

Quiet Lost

Chapter 5

Friday night, September 11

“Gin!” Neil laid down his runs and sets.

Cassie threw her cards on the sofa table between them, “That’s not fair!  You always win, Daddy.”

“Not true.  You won a game last week.  Besides, what does fair have to do with anything?”  His eyes twinkled as he suppressed a mischievous grin.  He wanted to reach out and muss her hair, but restrained himself – that would lead to an all-out war. Continue reading
