Death happens
and the world
doesn’t stop.
I want to shout from the
rooftops
Wait!
Don’t you know what
just happened?
The world lost a beautiful
woman
A mother,
a wife, sister, daughter,
a nature lover, nurse, activist,
a caring, giving, funny,
compassionate woman,
a friend.
Stop everything! Just stop
moving on, stop doing
just for a while to process
this untimely taking of a
life.
Stop working, planning.
Stop scrolling.
But keep
laughing, crying,
eating cheese,
wearing a sombrero,
dancing,
singing, looking for
bluebirds,
and remember
a friend.
