My dearest Sun
Let me set with thee
Amidst sherbet colored skies
And mourning, wistful clouds
I will wait
While darkness descends
Chasing away your brilliance
And as your light begins to fade
So shall I

If I screamed, would you come running
Or stand nearby, afraid to face my darkness?
Would you comfort me ,and bring me toward the light
Or would you cower in a corner, knowing my demons would win?
*
Is there a promise to keep, to guard my soul?
Is there a power within me, to take control?
Is there a will in your heart, to make me whole?
Nothing need be said, nor meant to console…
*
For I shall remain silent, locked inside myself,
Continuing to listen to nothing, afraid to hear myself speak
And the sounds within me, will deafen you, but quiet me,
mute me, until the only sound, the staccato of my breath.

How quickly the days
Seem to pass by, until
I am lost as to where
They all went, disappearing
Right before my eyes
And I blink, to no avail, they
Do not come back, those
Precious people, the ones
I seem to forget, and yet
Always remember, when
It’s too late to do anything
About the lost minutes
Because I spent too many
Hours, waiting for that one
Moment, when time stops
But it doesn’t, does it?
And I forget that I shall
One day, cease to be
Still, I find time to wonder,
Where did the time go?

Flora adorns her earthly dress
As she takes her final bow
A being, who’s one with the universe
She is the here, the then, the now
But, no longer do her fancy feet
Touch the ground beneath her toes
She’s been lifted into the heavens
Where all of God’s flowers grow
A sunflower remains behind
In the garden, now taking her place
Dancing freely, along with the wind
Its petals, her only trace

She’ll sail through the skies,
As the stars begin whispering
Fly through the heavens,
Hearing the angels, softly sing
Their glorious melody,
Such a welcoming tune
When the soul and the sky,
Do finally commune
As one with the kingdom,
Kept higher, above
Where eternity awaits,
On the wings of love
Rest well, Nilda..Heaven has a new angel…
