Letters
to Michael
(A visionary novel)
love, family,
passion
and death ...
Mother and son are
both hit by
lightning,
and die.
Kate must
return to life and her
grieving family, but
she refuses to leave
without her child.
What can heaven do?

Celebrate My Life
I am on the brink,
standing at the edge of the precipice.
Staring down into the last six feet
I'll ever see.
All the shores,
of all the oceans shrink
into a single grain of sand,
time washed and tumbled;
as was my life.
My friends and family all in black,
stand so forlorn.
I wish they would laugh,
celebrate my life, not waste
with regrets nor the saline streaked faces.
Like a deserted island where the shore
fumes at the waves, and grumbles
about their constant beat; the wearing way
they dissolve her rocks and shoals.
I attack my ethereal inability to let
my family know I am happier,
without pain or disability.
Love is the only thing that lasts
the only thing that you can take
beyond the veil. Love is eternal.
