Passage To Beyond

Passage to Beyond Our loved ones leave this world softly fading a secret smile playing upon their lips What do they see beyond the mist? Is someone there? Waiting? Others volunteer to disappear from this place thinking it is the only solution to their heart shattering from events old and new Seeking relief at any cost no thought beyond this selfish act. Others, beloved forever, leave this plane in a rush of fire, fear, fury and bravado so careless of the ones left behind to mourn, to miss, to try to fit the pieces together again. …..and if we watch...listen...very carefully we will see....hear...our dead creeping back to collect their footsteps. Trisha Sugarek Moths and Machettes

Hi Trisha, It's nice when someone forces thoughts from a place within. Here in 'Passage' I'm left to wonder, how much time spent in the collection of footsteps. -Richard
