nearness & Proximity
To YOU, these Mom and Dad and family members
who took a tragic shattering
loss of a loved one,
yesterday, the 14th.
All well meaning words from others,
near and far,
hardly dent the gulf of hurt and sadness
that lays sullen deep in your hearts.
One can only imagine the anguish of
non-stopping thoughts.
One can only imagine the horror of
deep feelings felt deep in your gut.
The depth of hurt and gap
is beyond words and ideas.
I extend my heartfelt and deep remorse
To ‘feather your way’
and soften this blow.
I trust you will come to solace.
Yours and others lives will
always have a hole,
a there-ness presence
as lives progress.
Progressions of extending yourselves
the wholeness of expressions
you treasure to share.
The proximity of people and life
may spread like a pebble in a pond
rippling like sliding ripples,
out and further out:
two days
week/month
season
cycles & cycles of seasons
and richer into
educational milestone arrived
new families and generations
and further and further into
continuing progression of peoples
decades
centuries
centuries
to come.
