for Carol...

There is an ache in the spirit,
such an emptiness, that it cries out.
we are caught in a hollow time 
in stillness and echoes of heartbeats.

When we only have words,
we must let them be words of life;
words that start the healing
and keep the embers, care made so tender.

When love is all we have,
then let it be the gathered treasure of a life,
that adorns each moment
with a golden memory.

For my friend Carol, who has enriched my life with the power of her words
and strength of her wisdom-- at a time which tests all that we know.  There are
moments when the earth beneath our feet quakes and then dissolves away, and
we are left  with faith that makes wings...hdm
