Cut and hang above bed; read again

The poem shook me so much and I can't figure out how it could be that others have not found it absolutely necessary to comment on it (although I was one of them until few minutes ago, doing ‘other things’. I assume that having a very old mother living far away has something to do with my reaction, but there is much more to it. It’s about the nature of human lives, their flow, their connection to nature and the connection of it all to poetry. None of the above ever is ever coined in the poem using ‘big words’; its all passed to us in simple words and in a quiet tone through the description of one’s passage of life. This is the only correct tone appropriate for the real big ‘items in life’: our lives, the departure of those who were (and remain) integral part of them, the way we continue to live.
This was a truly moving and as far as writing goes – a humbling one. Cut and hang above bed.

This is so lovely

and true and heartfelt and complicated. I felt the words and weighed them and they were not found wanting. Ty
