 Asking Sara

You have crossed over

Is there enough ink

To scribe the journey

Was it plain sailing

To the other realm

Sincerely asking

Are your words with you

So are you writing

Sunsets are golden

Morning comes again

We are not angry

Your words enlighten

Avid poets sway

mystery beholden

Ink here is flowing

You  there are resting
