The Last Journey

 

The Last Journey

 

Watching my love struggle to breathe

I’m remembering all the positive times

We had together

Love continues even after death

While you will soon join the other souls

Of family who went before

I will stay in the physical world

And try to keep myself balanced

With family and friends

Knowing I have difficulty expressing

My emotions, I need to be careful

Not to let the negative overwhelm me

I prayed the psalms to you

Both in Hebrew and English

I don’t know if you could hear them

And I told you how much

You were and are still loved

Poetry on display

I entered a church exhibit and surprisingly my poetry was accepted to their exhibit. I won't be able to attend the reception since I will be at my daughter's wedding in Utah, but I encourage readers in Idaho to attend and view the art and poetry on the theme from Psalm 46. This is the Christian translation of Psalm 46:10 (the Jewish one is a little different).

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth"

I felt that some of my poems related to the Psalm as many of my poems reflect on my own spirituality. I have not been in many churches and it was amazing to me to see how big this one was when I went to drop off my binder. They even have their own coffee shop and book store there.
