Tribute to Gaitus Collier
A moment away
when the warm hand cools
the breath eases to gone
left a thin wisp of hair
color faded to gray
A moment away
when flowers surround
the bed fills with earth
left a timeless memory
yet only for a day
A moment away
when gates swing wide
the dim veil shreds
left for realms unknown
to his own sweet home
“For now we see through a glass, darkly;
but then face to face:
now I know in part;
but then shall I know even as also I am known.”
by Marilyn 2008
