Birthday



today I spend time with Grandpa B
born in 1893 
mine forever
132 years hence

not past tense but present 
rippling across my pond
waves of love and joy
some tiny some tsunamic

recalling clearly the gray day he no longer could stay
aptly clouding the life blood flowing through my heart
some of it his 
still flowing within me  

we never cease to be
such good news
