AUGUST BUTTERFLIES

End of season...

Jeweled wings are ragged now

The time is almost done

Fairy angels end their lives

Dancing in the sun.

So sorry to hear that you have passed May it not be a dark night but a bright light Like yourself. May you be rocked in the arms of the Almighty to the beat of the lullaby winds.As all the souls of Heaven play a song so kind to the sound of the caroling winds. You have been a great friend to me.You have many great friends who have cried over you. May those tears fall from the heavens like notes from far flung rain to ring out the message you are loved.
Goodnight Marie.

Goodnight Marie. God bless your weary soul xx

Babs I saw where a man had left letters to his son because he knew he wouldn't be there for him. To be read each in turn when the time was right. One was for when he lost his virginity, another when he had his first child and when he had a fight with his mother. But one was for the day his mother would die. It was the shortest of all the letters It simply read. "She is mine now." Im sure that is what god is saying of Marie.

I'm sure Tate ... and as my Mum lies seriously ill at the moment I can appreciate this

[Tate Morgan]

My own father died two months ago So I can understand.

[Seashell]

Precious Marie, your presence will be so missed here. May you have such endless peace, and your dear family deep comfort. You were always a light here, and now an everlasting light. You are a poem for the ages.

thank you Tate for sending me the news ... i had no idea ..would have loved to know you better Marie ..and this your last poem posted here on WC is so fitting .. to face my own death with such grace and peace is my last dream ;) .. most of all i love your about me .. all of it ..but this is simply the best:
"I don't like poor grammar, misspelled words or mistakes in punctuation. Please don't send read requests for other writers, as I will not read them. I try to find stories to review, but will ignore those with mistakes. I don't appreciate obscenity, angst, or sappy love poems. I don't care if you've been abused, depressed or addicted. The more you know me, the more nice I don't become."
one could not ask for better ... reviews of your standard are what inspire to improve .. my prayers are with all your survivors ..i am sure the number of them lighten the heavy load your immediate family especially must feel .. peace Marie ..

Marie, your words are prophetic to me as this was posted so near to the day of your death. I believe there are instances when our spirit perceives information that our "being" is not fully cognizant of.
You have traded those ragged wings for those of the Almighty and dance too in the sun! May your spirit continue to shine to inspire us as we remember you with respect and love! Thank you for the influence you have had to me and my writing!
Fly free.............

Your words are the most beautiful epitaph, can't imagine anyone ever saying better. Your eternal dance in the sun will be truly exquisite.
