Ruby Rose -- Just for Fun

Riding broomsticks just for fun

swooping low and speeding fast

no cares but the muffins burning

and it's ok to forget them anyway

always there is more to make

and more to be embraced

as you whirl dervishly

across buttercup leaves

unafraid to fly or plummet

with a happy smile shimmering

always bringing the joy you know

even though your river once ran low

now you are a bearer of good tidings

who comes fearlessly in the dark of night

chasing away nightmares with your laugh

as we children clamor for another dose

of the magic that is your sweet smile

and you never choose to disappoint

for it is always your appointment

that you always keep

to meet yourself

and be love

glowing

real

and

true

Reborn on Wings of Love Again

Reborn on wings of love again

caressed by outstretched remembrance

entwined in earthly words spoken from inside

where they have no sound

but love's longing to be

and it does not weep in tone

but only cradles

and reflects

a life well lived

where love was given

and taken too

taken to a new riverlet

tailored as only he could do

for you

to gain a glimpse of yourself

in the reflecting pool of consideration

where you see him now still shining

but even brighter as his happiness glows

and while before you could not see him in the dawn

now you awaken to find him surrounding your heart

with the light of each new day

seeping into your awareness

the certainty that he

has only gone

as far as you've allowed yourself to see
