To the Blue ~ For OneShotWednesday~ June 15th, 2011

This piece was a sad piece to write.  It's meaning goes far deeper than words could express, and as usual, I have fallen back to the comfort of rhyme to attempt to express myself.  It's a habit that can be hard to break! :)  The photo is of my niece looking over the Bay of Fundy at Anthony's Park.  A beautiful picnic park located just beyond the historic village of Maitland, where grand sailing ships at one time were built, and pirate and ghost stories are the norm. 

I have been spending much time working on poetry for beyond my blog, and many of these require never before published works, so if I have overlooked returning a comment, please forgive me and know I'll be headed your way soon.

It seems momentum has picked up for me quite a bit, and it is with thanks to you, dear readers, poets and friends, that this has happened.  It is with a very grand and special thanks to the supportive, amazingly talented folks at One Stop Poetry, who have provided me inspiration on days when I swore none would be found, and for this weeks One Shot Wednesday I am presenting "To the Blue"

To the Blue

I wish I could have been there

The day you finally flew

The day they took your ashes

And tossed them to the blue.

I wish I could have been there

To have the chance to say

That though you may have doubted it

We loved you and your way.

I wish I could have been there

When your mind made you decide

That this life had been wasted

And it was time to say good~bye.

I wish I could have been there

To speak of our love for you

The day they took your ashes

And tossed them to the blue.
