PERHAPS THEY ARE NOT THE STARS AT ALL
BUT RATHER OPENINGS IN HEAVEN WHERE
THE LOVE OF OUR LOST ONES SHINE DOWN
TO LET US KNOW THEY ARE HERE.
LOVE YOU ANNE, MY SWEET COSMIC SISTER
I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK
XOXOXO NOV 2023

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
