Bad News Overcome
Redoubt for oracular sorrow
Where night settles
On her shoulders like a blanket
In mountain park village for lost lambs
Phone call to clinic brings
Even deeper sadness
Spot on her lung
A hole so deep her shade
Turns frown of a lost future
I guide her heart still pulsing
With dreams
To sheep-feeding corral
She emerges from mortal fear
Into a vision of life
Encompassing all creatures
Great and small
Goats climb on her
Drinking from milk bottle
Held in hands bearing sustenance
For thirst that feeds her joy as well
On a journey not finished
But continued among the stars
Redoubt for oracular sorrow
Where night settles
On her shoulders like a blanket
In mountain park village for lost lambs
Phone call to clinic brings
Even deeper sadness
Spot on her lung
A hole so deep her shade
Turns frown of a lost future
I guide her heart still pulsing
With dreams
To sheep-feeding corral
She emerges from mortal fear
Into a vision of life
Encompassing all creatures
Great and small
Goats climb on her
Drinking from milk bottle
Held in hands bearing sustenance
For thirst that feeds her joy as well
On a journey not finished
But continued among the stars

Your metaphors are wonderful and the whole is just fluid and eloquently mellifluous, its like music.
Deep gratitude Daniel my friend. My wife's way of dealing with stress was always to nurture. Her compassion was boundless as the galaxy. Caring was her way of healing even in the face of mortality. Thank you so much for reading and the RL. It means so much to me words cannot express adequately my appreciation.
