Ring Eternal

Reaching—reaching rivers to the sea, trying to attain wholeness even when the pain of losing you dares to drown me. As your hands grasp mine the waters of warmth struggle to assuage, I witness how your deep blue eyes reflect the ancient hearts of unseen depths. As streams of tears reach the tides of the sea, I sing you songs and hope they ring eternal—just as your love has rung eternal onto me. 8.13.2023 To my Grandpa Walt

In addition, let me say I am sorry for your loss. It all hurts and the hurt will never completely go away. I am thinking that the fond memories that come back to us are like a guiding light.

Light On the Devils Chord remains unpublished as of now. I would love to revisit the work, as it has been a while. I did publish a book on Amazon earlier in the year called Dead Spiders Weave: Weaving Hope. It’s a collection of poetry that I’ve written throughout the years. Hope you are well, Tom. Thanks for the kindness ~Laura
