eyes wide open

journey nearing its end

 

skin as elegant 

as a calla lily – blooming

 

mind is scattered

like a bee drunk on pollen

 

          ♥  shattered heart

grasping to love those left behind

 

          ♥  authentic heart

sharing love that has been kept secret for so long

 

family sits vigil with compassion and devotion

like morning dew blanketing a rose

 

death will come with a tender embrace

such as the sun wakes gently over the horizon

 

spirit taking flight

on the wings of a dragonfly
