I didn't expect to write to you again,
my meager voice is leeching away;
And the memory of me as us,
is diffused by her eyes.

It's true you know, wounds heal in time
and yes, it is fleeting as well.
But I have learned that time is not
some things hold eternal sway.

Do you object to my loving her?
She doesn't even believe that I do.
With little chance she ever will,
its only a comfort to me.

You know I harbor you no ill will,
adrift beyond flesh and space.
Perhaps it's best I lose this voice
lest I draw your spirit to this place.

But if you must visit one more time,
I pray, please go to her?
If you can me give this one thing,
Let her feel the best of me.

Just, let her see me, as you did
right there, near the end.
Maybe she will think of it,
Instead of seeing me as friend.

Author's Comments

I thought this piece lost. I had remembered writing something like it, but not where. It came to my hand again unlooked for, and so it is time.

I think it is likely one of the very last things I will need to post about this subject.

One of the ones I wrote to my late wife, and I was asking her for a bit of payback, of a sorts.

The date on this piece is 2/1/2007 - a lot of time between then and now. And much learned.

be well

Stunning...

What do you mean by payback, of a sorts?

I can only imagine the things she saw in you near the end that she didn’t realize before. I think about her sometimes. And wonder how to help but try to tread thoughtfully.

Wanderers in the wild darkness, we call thee to the gentle Light!
Long hast thou dwelt in the darkness.
Quit the night and seek the Day!"
