To My Uncle Ty
Your shoulders held me high Above
the fray, the calm strength
of your hands hoisted me Up-
sliding around your neck
into your arms, down again
Terra Firma
The years apart, where
only Fleeting memories
of your warmth
the Vibrato of your chest
as you spoke carrying me,
surfaced and faded
As I grew into my fullness
I looked for you
Begged your mind
Prodded your heart
found Sustenance in Both
Now in the Winter of your life
you stand so Tall, profoundly farsighted
your Vision ever so prescient
the warmth and equanimity
Magnified
You look upon me
the same admiring love
with which years ago
you used to teach me the value
of my intuition, strength of my character
I look into those eyes, your Face
the rounded shoulders,
the missing Digit
see the Anchor
you have been
All My Life
Wonderful!
Lovely, KR.
Thank you JG

Love to know you were here!… <3
Je viens de relire tous les poemes que tu as edites ici. C’est incroyable comme dans chacun de tes poemes ,l’Essence .s’insurge en une vague poignante , indefinissable, insaisissable. Pour moi souvent dans l’impuissance de l’Existence. Et puis…..ensuite..dans l’immediat…..les Mots ,tes mots font ressurgir une emotion, un souvenir ,une reconnaissance et alors c’est le plaisir .Kiki ! C’est beau! Merci
Suzanne, sache que ta perception et profonde appreciation de la poésie ont énormément de valeur pour moi. L’immédiateté de ta description, le choix des mots, tout ça, merci a toi!
So beautiful, Kiki. Your Uncle must have been very vital to your life! xo
Yes he was and still is, Mindee, thank you for being here!
What a wonderful tribute to your uncle Kiki! Beautiful!
Thank you Patty!
In a sad week you have brought me comfort through your words my dear Keren x
Oh Kiki…. You fill my heart.
Funny how we do that to each other…! xoxo
So loving, thank you for sharing Kiki.
So welcome dear Paula!
A lovely tribute to a lovely man.
Wow Kiki. Didn’t realize how Uncle Ty has been a force in your life too. Love the “missing Digit” , it was such a fascination when we were little.
