Farewell to Dr. S.T.
I just learned several days ago that my beloved training analyst, mentor and friend had passed almost to the day of my errant phone call - this valediction is for him.
I called my touchstoned mentor
Yearning for his voice to
hear
The phone rang on
Wife answered, then knowing
near
Gut punched certainty a shock
Now gone powder, my touched rock
Shocked I wept - apologized
She stopped me in my
stumbling
Wondered how I’d gotten
through
His disconnected number
This halted tears and mumbling
Felt his smile honey my heart
At his gift for us to part
In this physical realm here
He would say more smile than tear
Wrapped in his strong willed embrace
To walk life's wind face to face
Touchstone risen again tall
To receive one final call
The phone rings on, on, and on
For me with he to answer
Aww Pearl - so sad for you, my heart aches friend. Glad you had this metaphysical "last call" to cheer you somewhat, but sorry he's passed...
