~Serendipitous Flight

Destiny take note

when the time is right

this wayward soul is ready,

fly me unto the dusky stars

a butterfly's flight to ascend above lofty clouds

sterling sapphire glow and apricot wishes

i'll meet you on the other side

to continue on into another dimension

a serendipitous blessing on high 

let our wings flutter together once again

For my sister Lee, missing you yet another year. ♥♥

Oh Frieda, this poem hits me, very hard, knowing parts of your sister, Lee's history. I wonder, if anyone will be there for me, if I had died, during one of my previous suicide attempt. Please pardon me, as I wipe the tears from my eyes.

I can only hope, she has found the healing, denied to her, on Earth.

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your kind words therisa, much appreciate the sentiment.

You have penned your deep love and longing for your sister, Frieda, and your poem is heart-breaking and beautiful at the same time. Your poem and your graphic mirror your deep attachment to her - two close sisters, temporarily separated but destined to one day reunite. A wonderful piece!

[Frieda P]

Much appreciate your kind sentiments Joyce.

Your words touch that destiny, tell it 'calm me til it's time .. let me be for now to wonder, waiting where the Spring will lay my world' - and more. Like so many others i feel for you, trying to understand just a little of your pain and sadness. I just couldnt go out last night, thinking of Hannah and Sarah. How you cope is nothing less than heroic, dear and loved friend. ((Frieda))

Thanks for your sweet words Em, I know you know this feeling as well. xo

I know the story behind this beautiful song ... Would it be profoundly nice if God would allow us to make appointment and allow visitations in heaven . So we can see and connect with our loveones. Would it be nice if God would have a 24 hour hotline that we can call and allow us to speak to anybody or perhaps talk to our family and friends and people that are so dear to us and once and always holds a special place in our hearts. Would it be nice if God would have a 24 hour Mail Courier where we can send letters, postcards and receive replies from the other side ... photos of them and what it look like there on the other side.

Would be profoundly nice, thanks for your kind words Neil.
