Linked with my departed parents

End of Year


(For Mum and Dad)


near the years turning,

cold penetrates helpless person

leaves frozen and fragile litter ground

naked trees desperate yearning upward

for peace beyond letters and words

where a winter story is quietly told.

i remember you both

now in your rest

knowing deeper meaning

for this time of year

far from the chill end of all loneliness

together in eternity dancing free at last...

George, this poem means much to me as both of my parents are also departed. Both passings were very tragic and traumatic to me. But your beautiful tribute gives me some peace " far from the chill end of all loneliness..together in eternity dancing free at last"- this is how I often think of them also. Thank you so much for this.
