Profound Sadness
Rest In Peace Becki and Mackenzie Caudell
Becki, you were taken far to soon.
Mackenzie, you were taken before we could even know you.
God willing, we will see each other again one day, and I will wait patiently for that occassion.
I Rain (adapted from Hafiz)
I rain
Because your meadows call
For God.
I weave light into words so that
When your mind holds them
Your eyes will relinquish their sadness,
Turn bright, a little brighter, giving to us
The way a candle does
To the dark.
I have wrapped my laughter like a birthday gift
And left it beside your bed.
I have planted the wisdom in my heart
Next to every signpost in the sky.
A divine crazed soul
Is transformed into infinite generosity
Tying sacks of gratuity
To the dangling feet of moons, planets, ecstatic
Midair dervishes, and singing birds.
I speak
Because every cell in your body
Is reaching out
For God.
