About the piece: I recently had a bad stomach bug that was going around and it led me to have some interesting dreams. The dreams were recurring and involved many family members that have passed, human and animal alike. I was so moved by them, I woke up crying with sadness and joy. I enjoyed seeing my family so well and am grateful to know my loved ones who have passed are in Heaven, no longer suffering. This is part one of the two dreams I’ve had. I hope you enjoy 🙂 The photo I used is a photo taken of my mom when she was a child. 🙂
The swing rose higher
our bodies huddled close
Frosty breath swirled from our lips
Silver Bells sailed in the air
chiming and tolling
through the fields and woods
The trees bore witness
harmonizing with winded branches
We continued our ballad
their wisdom wound with song
with harmony far surpassing mine,
We were together again
Great grandma Frances
Healthy and wise,
with all the aunts alike.
I felt their love
Their hearts sheltering mine.
The lights shone soundlessly,
dancing in tune in the sky.
One star shooting itself across galaxies,
then two, then three.
Their jubilation
jigsawed inside me
Our song crescendo brought me to crying.
Wiping my eyes, they smiled, whispering
“You are Julie’s child.“
