I lost a friend to cancer at an early age. Though my parents had a profound impact on me and who I am today, this event, meeting her, knowing her and losing her in a matter of a year clearly was the single most important event of my life and changed me in ways both innumerable and indefinable.
My child’s heart
Your love-light
My innocence
Your child’s face with
A shaman’s soul.
Yes, just one moment
Two alone, but one;
Your tenderness was softly snaring;
An organic etching to hold my beating heart
And a lifetime of loss
Or a sweet lace holding me together
To be all that I am?
