I stand on the balcony
between stars and reality
I look up and call out “Mommy”
and I see a streaking light
and I know
you are watching me
and I know
you watch over me
and warmth seeps in
on this sad and sorrowed evening
and warmth surrounds me
on this lonely frozen night
and your meteoric memory
brings me back to life.

for my Mom who lived with and died from ALS. So often I will look up and before I can scarcely call out her name a meteor will streak across the darkened sky. She was always a meteor in life and now that she is able to dance again, she is dancing amongst the stars, and sending me a sign she still watches over me. I love you Mommy.
