...~* Poetry from my heart of hearts *~...

I love this poem due to all the loss we have suffered as a collective people and as an individual who has suffered loss over my lifetime. Losing your best friend or losing someone you’ve shared much of your life with or losing anyone dear and near to your heart is grief that sometimes never heals. And when we lose large parts of our American identity (civil rights etc) or when we lose people who made life easier by giving back artistically (I think of the recent loss of movie director and tv star and comedian Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle) it leaves a deep scar on society and in our hearts when we suffer such loss.

I leave this poem today in remembrance of members in our community that have passed on before it’s time to go (I think of Bulldog, and several others in our community) and in remembrance of people we hold near and dear to our hearts (my recent ex partner whom I loved to heaven and back).

I hope by leaving this amazing gift of poetry today will help us move forward and remember the joy of those who’ve been with us as we lift ourselves from suffering the loss of loved ones.

May peace and safety guide us in the days to come.
