The Hawk Above me Soars

Pain universal
I mourned you Carmella
I mourned a year
and a day

You sailed through
on a whisper--
You returned
a Hawk fisher
oft' a'flight
a wind storm fissure.

Forgive the living kind
I see your frights are over
And my grief is crazy.

Not a day more spake
not another sob I break
no more tears, no more tears
tracing my eyes...

Good bye Mom
You soar God's thermals
fly free to Dad
above trees
Love cannot wait but eternal.
