SThe rising tides
The darkening clouds
The loud thunder
The heavy sounds
A big fish rises from the sea
Splits the ship in the half
Splits my family from me
As I fall to the darkness
My light shines within me
Splash
Washed away
All alone
Convinced I am gone
I'm losing hope
I look up
I see the end of the tunnel
The light is fading
So I take one more breath
And let the ocean guide me home
The cold breeze
The crashing waves
My pumping heart
Fires my soul, gives one more chance
When all hope is finally lost
I look down
The silent melody and rhyme
As I take my last breath
It's finally time
As my body wanders through the depths of the sea
My life flashes in a blink of an eye
My passion and dreams, and all I was meant to be
Dwindles within me
The flame that once lit my soul
The spark that started it all
Is now finally at rest
I smile as I've reached peace
My mind and pain have been set at ease

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.
