The Final Bath..an ode to Leo..

He sat quietly amongst the Junipers, watching a star studded night, and in the stars, he seen her, the brightest of the lights. He could tell by the twinkle, the smirk up in the sky, and he knew she was watching, from the glimmer in the sky. They called to him, said its getting cold outside, come in...

Eternity's Door

I have watched them come and I have watched them go, and now the few of us, will not reveal what we know. I have faced death, stared him in the eye, watched him retreat, watched him run and hide.
