“The dead know nothing of time.” My dead people visit me at will, sometimes when I’m wide awake, sometimes when I’m dead asleep. My arms are open to them. Your poem gives me great comfort, Patti, and I thank you for reading it.

aside from the loss which is felt here your poem (and it called back for a few readings) reminded for this heart of the reason? intent? some of my most cherished "prose" writers who were known for that "form" (ok Jim Harrison for instance...) always said they preferred writing poetry and here i see and feel that......the imagination and emotions are unconfined and in the (w)rite ...ha.... hands fingers....words flap in the wind aprons (agents?) of hmmmmmm greater gods (purpose)

Thank you so much! And yes, they revisit when they whish ... I lost my brother in 2005, he was 49. And he still appearing in my dreams or in my mind, of course ...

We are often taken by surprise when the ones we loved appear in our hearts and minds. It’s a gift, a special remembrance of times lived and though it may make us sad it’s also uplifting to feel and remember such special people. It was lovely to hear you read this poem for Todd’s daughter. Thank you Patti 🙏

They revisit when they wish. Indeed. I will have regrets as that day looms ahead.
