Poetry: Joan, Woman of Red


Words seem lame

as I attempt to be,

wallowing in,

grievingly

swirling

with the impact

of your leaving.


You came,

you opened our hearts,

you left.


In this opening

you helped us create

a growing understanding,

a sparkle of why

is beginning

to show us

the Way.


If we can allow

your mission

to come through,

the opening you

began here

will expand into

new dimensions.


Rather than missing you

we will be

One with you.


Patricia
