Poetry Tuesdays: "For Tonya"

For Tonya

(This is dedicated to the memory of my cousin, Tonya)

As life fades, the spirit transforms into the light,

swaying in the wind, up gently above the trees

the light encompasses the atmosphere,

flying high, into the clouds,

as they marbalize the sky, streaming

light of pink, blue and hints of gray

Raindrops burst from the clouds

drowning down on the earth

feeling the sadness

flying above and spreading the light

cascading into the heavens

dripping down around the universe

flowing freely

flowing, gracefully into the memories

the thoughts of the past

the drowning emotions of the present
