For Mary "Boo" Budash - Crossed the Threshold May 2014
alone, like a country girl
innocent in blue
Madone de la rivière you seemed
full of grace.
We did not know you then
but sensed in the friend and poet you became
what radiates in that image.
Your inward gaze
the water's serenity
flowing from and to
that moment you left us
all that transpired
all that transformed
along the way

flowing from and to

all that transpired
all that transformed
along the way
visible to us now
we will remember.
we will remember.
