KOKORA


Hairballers,

So many left us this year.  They brought us joy and changed our lives but,  were not ours to keep.

This one’s for those who are gone.

no trinkets
or faded images--
all hollow things

I require no reminder
of who you were
or what you did

all the memories
good, bad or in between
of things done or not

are forever
tucked
behind my heart

in Kokoro,
the resting place
of the Soul

I still miss you--
not every moment,
but especially

in the quiet times
your absence echoes
shattering the stillness,

an aching wound
festering
beneath my consciousness

someday, I’ll join you,
and we will fly together
through the ethers

free of earthly ties,
soaring--
united once again

Happy New Year to all.
