Picture
Caption: We knew my fathers end on earth was near
His liver failing... Time was precious
Time stood still
Picture
Caption: There are no time keepers
No clocks to watch
Just breaths
Laboured ones
Ones that seek an end
To finish a life begun

Caption: The nourishment of savouring
moments

Caption: Songza chose this song for me ...
Picture
Caption: He spoke of a drop of comfort
Before sleep finally took him away
Picture
Caption: Autumnal
Whispers of wisdom
All lives understand
Another season
Under its hand
Moonlit trees
Clear its path
For a frail end
Picture
Caption: The gentle wind wakes
Before the sunrise
Sweeping through tendrils of clouds
Waiting on time to release
Its caress
On his smile
Picture
Caption: My bed side vigil overnight
sitting always at his face, listening to his heavy breaths carry him away to a deeper & deeper sleep.
Wondering when, knowing it was soon & telling him it was ok to go...
