Author Dewey Dirks I See You Now When we were young we used to say to each other that when you die your soul goes back to the summerlands to live with the Earth Mother in the rocks, the sky, and clouds and the leafy green trees. Now, we both knew to believe that but back then they were only so many words we told each other around the table to comfort ourselves the loss of our loved ones. Until today... Today I saw you there lingering in the pearlescent light of the sun coming through the window. You filled the room with a love song and I filled the room with tears of joy. I walked outside and I heard your voice in the gusty wind rustling through the trees. You were there waiting to meet me. I heard your laugh, I heard your lilting voice, saw you raise your colors, heard your rebel creed, and yes, the tears of your sorrow too--- all part of white spring clouds and the deep blue sky all around me. They say each soul is a limitless eternity, that in life we each condense like drops of water into the confines of our bodies, and that when we die, we cross the blue doorway to become once again, part of the timeless time of boundless infinity. In the darkness we traveled through you taught me how to see the unfeigned shine of the sun, the moon, and the stars filling the skies with the breath of light. Now I know how to look and I see you now, as you once and always were. A single drop in a vast ocean and the whole ocean itself, singing the songs of life along with all eternity. Dewey Dirks
