Star Child Introduction
"Come with me," the angel said, "Return to the stars." And the child leaned
into the angel's arms, her diamond blue-white wings enfolded him
and covered him with stardust to warm him for the journey home.
No cracking sounds of thunder or the shrill cries of a seagull mark this
passage--only the still sound of your sweet soul leaving, as silent as your
voice and beating heart. Fly now through the canyons, past the sun and
the moon, remembering the way you came before. Slip freely and softly
through the ancient doorway into the realm of eternity.
Take with you all the love you can carry, but leave enough for me to
feel your presence; for I will need that love to find my way through the
darkness. For the light that was your soul has left me.
Years from now, I will find you again and together we will soar away
from this place--this place that kept me separate from you. And I will
leave behind my body, the pain and the tears, taking with me all the joy
and spiritual wisdom I finally found amidst the vast brokenness of your death.
Written June 1997, on the beach in Port Aransas, Texas
