Forever Into Infinity

I saw a Turtledove peer down from the roof, toward the grapevine,..
withstanding the eager gaze of the cats below...

Then looking over I notice the Tree. I think about how it receives

from the world and its people. Its trunk firmly planted into the ground,

I watch its graceful delicate branches dance with the wind and I feel

how beautifully intimate this movement of breeze as it brushes the hair

across my face.

I remember all the times I was enveloped by that invisible touch, like the

gentile stroke of a loving Grandmother. I felt special to receive this loving adoration,..

even if it was invisible.

Thus, I was shown how to give a gentile touch to soothe an aching soul.

And I found myself moving, sort of unnoticed, swirling around the great Mother,

and then stopping at your bedside,...my friend...

I look upon your face and see a child of the Earth and Sky...

Ever so gently I lay down beside you to whisper words that will barely be heard

and perhaps not remembered,.. "I love you,..Forever into Infinity..."

My Heart beats out a steady rhythm of Truth...

I look over toward your eyes to find you sleeping,...

maybe dreaming of the kiss I place upon your forehead,..

"Good Night".
