My doctor told me
My doctor told me
my sister was dying
soon and I should visit her
but not stay long or sit close
for her immune syustem was dying,
as well, and time could take her
any second, for there was no curative dose
beyond the hand of God.
It was a visit I’m glad I took.
When I got up to leave,
she told me:
I love you, too.

This is so beautiful, even as it carries poignancy of loss.
Thanks you, Virginia, your comment moves me…
You capture massive emotions in such small moments and phrases. Poignant and beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
I felt that. Thank you.
I like to take an image and explore its possibilities, H. A.
You are welcome Allen…
the moments when we are to listen deeply
go where it is hard to be
to wrap endings in beginnings
to walk forward in LOVE
wow! this is a powerful piece, thank you!
