Wrote this for my ma not a poet by any metric, Grandpas a great man and will be missed.

At night as I lay

When my mind is free at last

To the edge of all that’s known

I let it drift with sail at full mast

I breath in forever

I exhale the past

As it makes its way through eternity

Tho I know that it won’t last

It settles on a place in time

Like dew on the morning grass

The white noise has faded

a creek and then a groan

In that moment I realize

I will never be alone

Because before I never knew

What so clearly I know now

Every time I heard that noise

Woke to that old familiar sound

It wasn’t just my grandpa

A life of love just sat down
