R.I.P.tide

Alki Point
Seattle
July 24'99

it was time

he looked around one last time
knowing what that meant-
never to come back
home,
he didn't want to leave.

the whole time
she gave him unconditional love
and set him free
and free of pain of dying
[liver cancer is so evil]
he squeezed her hand
and began his journey
alone
leaving with a lasting smile.

too early in years
too soon to be forever
peace is what you wished for
peace is what you have

we all died alittle when you went Jim
now at Alki she holds remnants one last time
[you-forever in her heart]
and takes...gives you back where you wanted-
to enter the primordial waters
and be one with another true love-the Sound-
emerald aqua cold blue tranquility blending the evening's grey mourning clouds
a silent prayer given
last words whispered
a gull cries......
the same water- a tear in a wave
the riptide carries you off
there to join others --
our stone angel neighbors an angel-terra-cotta preceeding-
[Loretta-we were awe struck and wished love and blessings-
you are not alone]
a small shrine in a rose hedge overlooking the end,
the beginning
and
watched
tossed flowers blossom
and spread across
your neptune
home sea home

she looked around one last time
knowing what that meant
someday to come back
alone
she didn't want to leave

it was time.

a smolt suddenly jumped
a sure sign of a bigger fish chasing-
i smiled,
God speed bro.
