I never got that and then again they never got me since I insist on calling it death... it is a big lesson in Tibetan Buddhism you know, to embrace the impermanence of life as I guess that is the only promise it truly holds!

But in this world of phoniness and pretension, you're just a real girl - someone who would say dead instead of passed. The 'there - now what' sort of person that I like. Keep laying it bare for us. I will remember those who serve and have served us on Monday, they deserve at least that. Pia that’s why I stop by and read each day, maybe not always comment.

“Blinded by Tears”

whoosh of tires softly moving over cracked asphalt,

gentle murmur of friendly voices,

fresh mowed grass smells of summer,

warm breeze flags rustling softly,

droning insects in woods nearby,

words of comfort of heaven bound,

smooth dirt thudding on wooden lid,

blurred vision of blue uniform,

pressing folded fabric,
white stars gleaming,

thunder cracks of rifle reports,

whirring wings startled birds take flight,

mournful notes drifting into cloudless sky,

can our unborn child,

hear her father’s voice,

I would have liked,

to been able to tell her someday,

but I am blinded by tears.

Brian aka hummingbunny
