LITTLE DYINGS

Little Dyings

Thinking today of the
Hundreds of little dyings
In my long life.

Little dyings, little risings
So the path winds the
Way to the end,

The end that is a new
Beginning with no more
Dyings, large or small.

(June Butler - May 2013)

  1. No energy is ever lost
    no matter disappears
    by laws of science
    or of soul
    the are we are will be
    transformed
    and rivers form from tears.

  2. "The end that is a new

    There is no way to express how deeply those words have touched my own personal grief and helped to heal. Thank you.

    1. 8thday, many thanks. I'm shy about posting my own poems, so the good words mean a lot.

    1. 8thday, if you scroll down, you'll see I have a few more poems linked on my right sidebar. Some are decidedly better than others.
