Ricky Jackson Poems

Just as you can't add darkness to light.
Just as a bird can't forget how to fly.
I'll never leave you.
Oh, how I want to.
...

Airplanes and seagulls.
Yellow Flowers and Blue Birds.
Sunlight,
Shining on the same Earth, that You walked with Me on before Purity and Ignorance began this drowning companionship.
...

...and as the angels gasped for air and healing and strength and relief from this choking emotion of fear and sadness...it was over. bittersweet.....


Heaven wept for one last time.
