Winter's Dustings




It seems a night of not enough sleep, brings forth a hazy sort of day, but with that a dusting of thoughts-


Winter's Dustings


You're all part of me

Sylvia
Ann
Henry
Walt

Florence
of
the
night

I carry you
in
modern
mind,
not thinking
though I am

woman

of these precious
times

your
times
too

we know of
only what you've
told

in print

you're in my head

I walk my way
so very distant
far beyond

a grave of
knowing you,
your true thoughts
dustings
of
a
particle

my mind's wonder

the
you

the
we

it
all

Thus marks today's entry in the Poetry A Muse In Motion Project.

Today I read an essay, a short story of sorts by a friend who had recently learned of the passing of a dear friend of her's. Also this afternoon an email came in from my cousin who very kindly has been sharing episodes from time to time with family & friends, in regards to how her brother in law has been doing with his battle of a serious disease. At times it has been going estacially well, & at others, such as now, very painful & laden with challenges.

There is no escape for us mere mortals, our human condition & what it is we are made of. The very best we can do, is to be there for one another, even in small ways. For it is our love & concern for one another that can raise our spirits, & gives us hope, to continue, to continue, as we wish one another, blessings of strength, healing & continued peace. *Amen*
