Five Tanka
For Mark in memory of Cecelia


Beautiful man beautiful woman
the sun warms us
until it departs the mountain
day passes and we head home
hand in hand shoulder to shoulder
as true as ever

into the distance
that separates other distances
each day since summer passed
I light a candle
and pass my hand over the flame

in your light
in your honor
with each breath
I make an offering
and want to follow after

I let myself go
because of you
because of all that you are
and all that is missing
everything points to absence

herald of heaven
you taught us to fly
you adorned and wrapped us
in the vestments of spirit
watch over us in your heart
under your sky we flower

I was your babysitter for Kaitlyn and Molly about 20 years ago, when I was 15 and they were so little. My family was connected to them from generations ago. Cecilia was a kind and lovely mother.

God grant me the Serenity
to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time enjoying one moment at a time accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Rest in peace my dear cousin. We will miss you.
