    Poem Commentary

    Just yesterday, I found out that someone I never actually met, had passed on-It struck me hard-I pray for him and his family-I truly believe Kage was an exceptional human being. I dealt with my loss the best way I know how-getting as far into the woods as my feet would take me, and writing-REST IN PEACE KAGE!!

    Eagle Spirit

     Through the misty woodland
    Looking for some peace of mind
    Where I can find it

    Wet moss and twigs break
    My heartbeat and breath quicken
    but I must move on

    My mind is numb now
    Thoughts of a departed friend
    weigh so heavily

    Kept searching further
    not knowing where I'd stop
    this path winds like life

    I hear so much joy
    in the springtime seeps and streams
    It's quiet and still

    At the water's edge
    like from some mystical dream
    stopped me in my tracks

    Soaring right by me
    Eagle spirit caught my eye
    Kage was flying by...

    Perfect! This write is peace, and life, and resurrection! What a strong woman you are, and so intune! I love that. I too, share this relationship with all that breathes/ as you do. The beauty of this write stems beyond, a simple 'great write'. I felt the woods, I felt the air, and smelled that crisp every-green, dirt smell!(God, I love that smell!!)-and most of all, I felt Kage! You are an earth-angel!-hugz,Maddi

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
