Gabriel Adrift

 

You were gone

I felt myself leaving too

Piece by piece untethered

Vision unclear 

My fear

Lit the way  

Around and within 

My skin

Wet with rain

But

Heavier my mind

And 

Splintering my heart

Undone by the unknown

A panicked call

A whispered wait

I see something 

He is home

I ran then 

Desperate for you

Holding 

Healing 

Flesh of mine 

Found.

Sisters

You three

Who longed to be free

To taste Italian tomatoes on your tongue

To know the joy of pizza 

And perhaps the safety 

Of an unencumbered sleep

And sleep you now will sweet ones

Your vision untainted

Pearls not taken by the sea

But made alive in it

May you always shine.
