I am immersed in the voice of Joan Baez
I’m at that low point once more
Her songs have brought me back 
to better days
The contrast has plunged me deeper into despair 
The pain of missing is indescribable 
It is not the pain of your death
That was shock and disbelief 
We now find comfort as we speak of you 
with our “friends “ but this pain has deepened with time-an unresolved longing whose ache transcends the physical 
It saturated the fibers of emotion
so painful for it can never be resolved 
We now keep you alive in other ways 
There is comfort in that but no
resolution

As my tears mix with my words -I hold you again with my heart and mind 
I stand alone- no one can help me 
For I cannot help myself 
Time has helped, time has healed but time has cruelly separated us as well 
This is the limitation that will not be
conquered on this earth 

When we are reunited in that other world 
(That I fervently hope exists)
I will be at peace again 
So I listen to the music as I gaze at  your
picture and momentos , the testament to to your life with us
I am alone and unapologetically-feeling  sorry for myself 
I really don’t know how to finish this 
I simply wish you my love
Sleep - my lovely son
