To my friend Jane and her family. Today is their mother, Dorothy's, funeral up north and I sure would like to have been there.
I reprint this poem I wrote for a friend's mother a long time ago.
Dorothy died May 24th, during the New Moon.
My family members had died during Full Moons and it presented me with the feelings to write this one down.
To Honor Dorothy Smeltzer:
Moon phases
Keep paces
Reflections of the Light
Dance to the beat
of the One Heart
Celebrate the feat
of Living
New Moon to Full
Hard to resist the pull
When the Light is
so bright
And the Soul will
abide
by the Call of
the Tide.

how sweet of you!
Your poem is so lovely..are you still writing them? The full moon in relation with timing and the new moon with others passing..very interesting..new moon "New beginning and changes" (and boy I can testify to that it is so true each time)and full moon a bit more dramatic, strange moods and such with vibrations and such..
Sorry about their passing..nice of you to dedicate this blog post for Jane..I'm sure she greatly appreciate you doing this for her.
