All Mortal Flight Poem by Sandra Fowler
All Mortal Flight
I watch your poem go down in the west
And know old friends are gold without a doubt.
I clasp your hand to wish you my godspeed.
Our epitaph is written in your eyes.
White gulls of snow are swirling through the air.
Perhaps, in token of all mortal flight.
I will not call after departing wings.
Good-bye is such a final winter word.
Somehow the moment seems so windowless.
I cannot see tomorrow through its panes.
And yet I cling with simple childlike faith
To my belief that warmth can never die.
Dedicated to those who have lost friends and loved ones to cancer.

Sandra, having heard this one read aloud now it seems all the more powerful. The subject is one close to my heart recently and this most definitely resonates. HG: -) xx
She still sings her unsung song to me as I cry myself to sleep and I think there are thousands of others like me who are the same.There is no goodbye that lasts long enough to close the gap and she returns to my thoughts before the words have left my lips.-10 As always Paddy
