~to the Moon & Back

~to the Moon & Back

A Poem by Frieda P

In my heart of discontent
where remembrances lie
dandelion & butterfly raindrops
land upon my face
streaming in memories
fragile recollections of a better place
wafting through the air
into the atmosphere
on a wing and a prayer
looking for a sign
are you here with me still
within the magic of a flutterby
I sigh a dandelion's breath
dancing spirals grace a zephyr
gently drifting to the clouds
made a wish upon a star,
                   they make it that far
for our essence to meet
halfway between
 the moon & back

The poem was beautiful as I had no doubt when I came here, but your author's note has ripped at my heart and pulled tears from my eyes. Once more I sit here, scanning my mind, peering into every dark corner for just the right words to say and sadly I do not know what they might be. All I can offer is my friendship, and though I know it will never take the place of your sister, it is all I have. Very moving Frieda.
