Love Is The Only Legacy

Folder: 
Immortal

The sand castles have fallen.

The ice sculptures have melted.

The pink chalk on the sidewalk

has been rained away.

The corn stalks are earless

and summer leaves have disappeared

from the centenarian oak.

Matter's traces of the Unquenchable

Spirit's path



But her Love

forever remains...

murmurs the leg of the sea

Her love

is everyone's legacy.





(to Sarah B)

Author's Notes/Comments: 

re Sarah B who hovers
around her loved ones
as a 3 shift a day
guardian angel.. through
whom God spoke from
the time she was a little
girl
