Marianne, thank you for sharing this with me. Im deeply touched for what you and your family had to face and feel it..the awareness of our limited time never prepares us enough when we face the passage directly in our lives. Sometimes I would like to be just pragmatic and bold and consider death just like that, a passage. Like that silly fear that we have of entering in the cold water of a mountain lake but then, once we finally win the resistence and we're in, everything passes. The poem speculates on a dream of new words and new paths we may walk in this quest long a lifetime 🙂 I would be honored to record it as many allitterances were purposedly inserted seeking for rythm and musicality.
