Death of a Dream

Be still, my palpitating heart
Salt tears, please cease to flow
We cannot while we’re here below
The course of heaven know

Recall the other times in life
When endings had to be
To bring another service
Oriented opportunity

Recall sometimes that those involved
Remembered you to thank
Better than any cash reward
You might have put into the bank

Observe once more you harmless go
About evolving way
Think of the Wisdoms you now know
You didn’t know yesterday

Lift up your head, yes, lift up your
Undimmed and sparkling eyes
And do your best be ready for
The wonderful surprise,

Awesome responsibility
And miraculous nature of
Your next divine adventure
In uncondit’ional love

Take time a little grieve, but trust
Things be not bad as they may seem —
It’s nothing you’re not used to
Only the death of another dream

Homeless until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ this poet presently lives under perpetual threat of towing with all possessions should her 23-year-old van stop running for any reason.

She is badly in need of a modest reserve with which to field any emergency which might occur.

Donors may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S. It does take several days for the poet to be notified of your patronage.

Thank you for supporting quality in the fine arts.
