In Memoriam

{Size 5}{c: violet}She has gone, in an instant.
What is time where grief comes,
and the dawn heralds a day
where you are not here?
You laughed last night
were warm and full of life
and now are merely
an urn of ash
except for our memories
that defy death itself.
Vibrant soul, that sailed through life,
intrepid, bold
facing her fears and joys equally
bringing her  sense of life to all
touching each soul--
oh, where did you go?
Are you with our dad
who maybe finally learned to dance?
Wherever you are, we miss you
wishing you were here--
this house is empty of you
though we are here
we three, together
each in our own memory.
You stand with us despite your going
our hearts have you
and we will never forget.
We love you, mom.

In memory of my mom, who died suddenly and left so may who loved her--Mom, you are missed, and we love you still.
Peace, Ree Lannes{c/}
