Oh, Heavenly.
Tall trees give welcome shade
To the porch where I lie looking up
From the gently swaying hammock.
The summer smell of the sea and beach grass,
And Connie and Ernie's voices
From inside the house,
Lull me gently into light sleep,
Peace all around and inside me.
Then the cooling day
And my friends wake me.
We walk down to the harbor.
It's low tide.
Scattered groups of people walk out
Toward the sun,
Leaving their shoes in the sand.
Connie and I dance to the music from steel drums,
While Ernie takes photos of the dancing children.
Then, among other sun worshippers,
We view the incredible patterns
Of the blazing sunnow visible, now hidden
Slipping down through horizontal layers of clouds.
Gold rays shine upward, while
Brilliant, glowing scarlet outlines
Their intricately scalloped upper edges.
We hold our breath.
Our hearts captured by the beauty.
When the sun drops below the horizon,
We walk back on another path
Through the tall grass.
The shoes are still there.
Heavenly.

To everyone dear to ERNIE WE SEND OUR CONDOLENCES and love. I and know you have all been enriched by our association with Ernie.i tried to contact him this week and could not. My husband and I have known the Kirwans since RISD years and loved and respect them both.

Neal passed away on April 8, 1919 . I imagine them together in heaven now and send our blessings.
Lovingly, Kristin
