My son is calling me
From behind the veil
Greeting me
Eagerly
As I shed my trappings
Of this world
And gleefully
Descend
The stairs to the other side
He comes to me
As a babe
As a boy
A teenager
A man
I tell him about our adventure
On the other side
About his older brother
On the other side
I tell him that I love him
Forever
That his father and brother
Love him
Forever
He touches my heart
Opens me to infinite grief
And Love
Opens me to infinite vulnerability
With God
We explore the cosmos
A forever sunset on the beach
Swim in a river of gold
Surrender
To watching clouds in the sky
Dancing like dervishes
Roars ripping from our throats
He is the thunder in the sky
Lightening connecting earth
And the heavens
With a blinding flash
He is hot and cold
Breaking everything
So thoroughly
That new atoms are born
And my other son is calling me
In the physical realm
With a wail
Of post-nap blues
Books and snacks
Outside explorations
Snuggles
Kisses
With a twinkle in his eye
A touch of breakfast on his cheek
And an “I love you, momma”
That crumbles my heart
Melts it anew
My sons stand
On two sides of the veil
And I will forever
Journey between
On this tear-soaked trail
