I remember when I learned you died
A lone obit on the net
You died too soon
I think it was the smoking
Though we hadn’t been
for many years
I felt pangs for you
I wish it never happened
I wish you could have
had a longer life
and maybe kids
and a good husband
I hope you have something better
wherever you are
Though our love
was beyond retrievable
my heart mourns
for you
having such
an early demise.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
