She Quit Life's Stage

A poem of Mother’s passing 10 April 1943--24 September 2018

Dreams flow of a green grass age

Dryads sway in winds of change
Reveling in zephyrs of wild rose
Carrying fleeting moments of joy

So the years pass fleeting as days
Her memory stretches behind
The future fades beyond the known
As the forest sheds its finery

In the raining fall of each fiery leaf
She exits this long slow dance
Treading the boards of Life’s stage
Hope and Life fading… fades to black

Leaves fall as she quits Life’s stage
To pass beyond to the next realm
embarks on the last, greatest journey
Departing Life, trusting the destination

Knowing her soul rests in God
Shadows fall on the eternal stage
In this place laid bare with time
All that now remain are shadows
