March 2008

They laid you to rest

Buried deep in the ground

That day I lost my friend

My love, my soul kin,

But in the ground

You do not reside

For your soul, your spirit

Reaches out to me

And again you are found...

Your spirit wraps around me

Like a soft blanket of warmth

That I find comfort in and within...

My heart, my soul yearns for you

To stay in my life forever

Even though I'll never physically hold you again

The days and night I did

No one can take that from me

And set those memories

Those emotions

Free.

Author's Note

Dedicated to my Soul-Kin, Cindy. Oh how I miss her so much. RIP Cindy "Lou" Calhoun.
She touched my soul like no other. And the strange this about this pic is this is almost identical to what she looked like. Very strange...but lovely at the same time.

It is evident in this piece you shared a deeply intimate connection with her and it is nice to see sorrow wound with joy. Love and loss are the hardest things we face, in my opinion, and your bravery is highlighted in this piece. I'm sure she'd be proud. This is beautiful
