September

[jdf]

leaves are turning
and beginning to fall
summer birds are leaving
to an ancient call

monsoons bring rains
to mojave sand
clouds dwarf mountains
air swallows sound

a full half year
has come and gone
memory paints tears
on pictures drawn

of the death of a friend
of an angel's flight
of a ghost in a dream
hunting in dappled light

[Magnum's Mom]

jdf,

That's beautiful. Would you please stop making me cry?

[Mary Plummer]

Oh my, jdf...this one made me cry too! That last part, of course, is what did it to me:

of the death of a friend
of an angel's flight
of a ghost in a dream
hunting in dappled light

Once again, your writing is just beautiful. Even if we didn't know how much Roxy was loved, your love for her is obvious in your writings. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
