For Mum 13 2 12

knowing now you are calm
in golden light
you have flown from
the vale of tears free as a gull
floating motionless in the wind
you have passed
over the quiet stream
trickling between
life and the new life…
your soul, the true you
beacons from where light
lasts for ever among
countless fields of love,
of laughter…

once in the shadowed
path of the past
you told me
“my dancing days
are over…”
they aren’t mum,
now with dad, richard
my brother, my others
in spirit
dancing has begun,
glorying in truth
has begun
beyond shadow
we know shaded paths
need light…
now, time of
the deeper light
boundless…beatific

“what is true can be known”

love never dies
love trickles like laughing water
through multifaceted
jewels of life…
here is fullness
of life…
knowing truth,

being truth…

there in
light unending
you rest
free at last…
