Remembering Carol

Carol papuga dave

My friend stopped dreaming today
  She opened her eyes in the other world

A kaleidoscope of tears assaults and soothes my soul
  Love & Rage, Joy & Sadness, Anguish & Understanding
A shower of memories – like fairy dust
  Illuminates our time together
In every future moment
  I will miss you – as I wonder
How is this possible?
  When everywhere I look inside of me
 There you are

Hearken to this reed forlorn
 Breathing ever since was torn
From its rushy bed a strain
 Of impassioned love and pain

The secret of my song though near
 None can see and none can hear
Oh for a friend to know the sign
 And mingle all their soul with mine

Twas the wine of God inspired me
 Twas the flame of God that fired me
If thou wouldst know how lovers bleed
 Hearken, hearken to the reed  –  Rumi

    An umbilical cord blood bank for Northern California will be launched November 15, 2007 on the steps of San Fransisco City Hall. This resource will extend the dream time for those with cancer. If this is of interest–visit joannepang.org
