Sleep Deep

Written in December 2012 upon the loss of Nicholas Raine Epstein.

​Sleep deep, sweet soul, within the womb of heaven.
You are a dream we once had.
A hope that we’d been given.
You slipped from darkness to the light of God
So softly, in secret.
A dragon of a north wind chased its tail around the house, but
You are safe.
You yawned, stretched your arms, and rolled over into eternity

Deliberate omission of period at the end of the last sentence.

That’s good. And sad

So sad. Terrible week-- Lily with croup, Pooka having a stroke, Hudson going blind, loss of the baby, and then the Sandy Hook shootings.

    I'm a New York grandma, living in San Antonio. I've been writing nonsense for a few years now, and I think there's enuff of it now to start a blog.
