She Brings The Dead To Me

[Dandylion]

Alvina Long 1923-2004
You are missed.

Alvina is dying.
There is this glory I see
when she looks at me.
Her eyes are open as she nears death.
The glow on her is beautiful,
tranquil and sweet.
Her body, thin as a skeleton
holds captive her ever ready soul
looking to go home.
I want to let her go,
to fly away from this cage of bones.
She is so beautiful in Death,
a serene pool of clear water.
She comforts me
in her weakened state
bringing the dead near to me again.
I love her for this.
She has re-opened my eyes
to the wonders of spirit and magic.
I know she will be gone soon.
I want to be there when she takes her last breath.
I want to watch her fly away.

Wow, she is smiling at this one because you understood her, and let her know it was alright to go home. We just visit this life, home is on the other side. I am glad you took this opportunity to understand and to look deeper into the soul of this amazing lady. She is but a beautiful memory in this life, but on the other side she is a flame just beginning to burn brightly. Much love baby

Beautiful... completely beautiful.

very captive in capturing ones loss
as well as ones own internal struggle
with life and the great beyond

Thank you all for such wonderful comments. This one is deeply personal as I was with her in her last days. I think there is something so beautiful about the dying and this was an experience I will never forget. I miss her, but I smile when I think of her. Thank you all~Dandy

Wow. After reading "Too Painful For Me" I have such a clearer understanding. I am sure she is looking down upon you with a smile. This is a loving tribute, and though she may bot be with you physically, her spirit will endure with your words.
