Fishing Is Life

The stars followed you.

The sun kissed your lips.

The wind embraced you,

and the tides listened to you weep.

You lived the mysteries of life

with sacred awe,

to the drops of happiness and sorrow.

The words are constricted

in my heart.

We laughed and

we wept

by your bedside,

as you floated 

through two worlds.

We reminisced of days

with life.

The life that wakes you up

and shakes you up

as you feel it in your marrow.

Days of endless ocean,

sea life,

love and pain.

Days when your lion heart

was wild with wonder,

fierce with quest.

You loved,

you lived,

your chalice always full,

your roar loud,

your brave heart gentle.

Monday June 11 my father in law passed away. He was a man that lived his life fully and a man that was loved by many. I loved him and I will miss him dearly. I pray that he finds the peace that he wished for.
