Do you have time to say good-bye?

Question

"Raw"

A silver maple,

shivering,

my heart.

And I sang

but my words

were not fire...

not yours.

Grief like an anvil

in my throat.

Numbness, steel

in my eyes.

I was strong for you,

I carried you...

I will carry them too,

I promise.

I set

Two Cups

aflame,

nothing remains

the same.

You sleep so peacefully,

and a part of me

lies with you.

Author's Note: Siren Reborn, my friend and poet, has gone to the Summerland paradise. She was called home, and the world will mourn her. She would want me to tell you how much each and every one of you meant to her, how you drove her to make her work better, inspired her, and gave the greatest gift of your time. Thank you all.

Blessed Be in Saying Farwell,

Eva

Answer 9

What happened - I was just in contact with her a few days ago - and she sounded okay.  I am truly saddened by this. Since I am of an advanced age - I am assuming that everyone else is so young.  First it was the Dark Prince in June - now Siren in July. Every one of my contacts have felt like my children. Please take care all ♥

Answer 10

Eva, I am so shocked and sorry.

Her loss is a loss to the world, real and virtual.

I had contacted her about TW 2009 and was wondering why she didn't get back to me.

May her beautiful soul rest with the angels, to whom she is now reciting her beautiful poetry.

Answer 15

A small aquaintance,

Pain still felt,

Flower I never smelled,

Remembered now to me.

Petals delicate, fast withering

Yet kept alive by love's strong breath.

              Blessed Be to the dearly departed in Christ

Answer 16

sorry for your dear lost friend

called back to the other land

devine and bright things the future holds

but take heed deaths shadow

lingeringering in the corners

looming in the air

though you may never see it it is always there

Answer 17

What, what do you mean?   Have I misunderstood?  Are you saying that she has died?  I just talked to her not long ago via e-mail.  This truly saddens me deeply.  Not only did I love her poetry, but she had a lovely soul and I was extremely  fond of her and she will be greatly missed.
