Thanks so much Sally!
She spread his ashes here
near the silent lapping waters of this river
where cattle graze on water-meadows
and swans catch sunlight on their bowing heads.
She sinks her toes into the mud
that captured his soul,
spiders cast webs like fly fishermen,
and birdsong lingers near the bank,
beside the memory-blue waters where he liked to sit.
And we know he could be in no better place.
Thanks so much for the email to let us know about your recent blog posts. I think you chose the perfect place for Clint. This is a poem which matches the beauty of these meadow lands. And it's perfect that you have the fabulous panoramic photo of the meadows on your wall at home. Miss you, Sue!
ReplyDeleteThe poem perfectly captures your special moment. What a lovely place to choose. And he could never have chosen a more special or wonderful life partner than you, Sue.
