it’s a good time
to talk to you
since you have now
left the
earthly plane.
and although
that may seem strange,
when one is here
one is constrained
by time
and ego
and neither of these
necessarily foster
truth.
a failed assignation,
crossed signals
something as mundane
as
traffic…
and at the time
i just waited to see
if you would/could
rise
above it.
my wise son
advised me
that there was little distance
between
our (yours & mine)
spiritual vantage points,
but i
was not sure.
so I let the possibilities
fade away
in to the netherworld
of time.
the last time
that i saw you
i looked up from my reading
in a restaurant
and you were scowling
in my direction.
maybe justifiably
but also notably disturbingly…
i am headed to
your memorial today.
you, a widely respected elder
and
a man;
me, a silent seer
who writes her truths;
and
a woman.
