Appreciation
...because, Trizzy
Being able to feel the sun’s heat on my face,
but unable to feel it with these hands…
Being able to breathe oxygen,
but unable to see it with these eyes…
Being able to hear this beat,
but unable to know why this heart functions…
Being able to taste victory,
but unable to savor the flavor of words as they exit this mouth…
Being able to wake up, smell the coffee,
but unable to tell when the stench of life is engulfing…
Being able to experience your peace,
but unable to understand how you came to terms with passing...
I miss you already...

Oh my! What an amazingly beautiful poem Slump. My eyes are watery now as a result. The simpleness of the words are what make this so damn powerful. I am so warmed by this. Great job.
"Being able to experience your peace,

it wasn't meant for us to understand sir. all she ever wanted us to do was try though...i miss her too.
I feel you...
Man I bet she never could begin to imagine just how much she has affected us all....
What!? I missed this? Slump this is beautiful. [sigh] A part of me doesn't believe that she went anywhere. Any moment she'll txt my phone, or surprise me with a call. She always does that when I need it most. I'm adding this to teh tribute page.
This was sooo nice...
I'm sure Trizzy would have
thought it was beautiful...
cuz it really is.
I miss Trizzy too...
