For Suzanne


Friend, Suzanne Miller, passed away suddenly - March 2015
When we first moved to Cape Ann, she and her husband came to visit and she brought gifts, then invited me to an evening beach picnic over labor day.
There you were with gifts
Basket filled 
loaf of bread, candle and wine
a feast for friends

The real treasures?
the sustenance of your smile, your warmth, your joy
I see you on the beach that night
moon rising over the incoming tide
lighting the tin lanterns against the wind

when all the while
it was you who were
light and warmth in the dark and cold
