Rejoicing in Devapriya

Page 91

Rosie Balyuzi I add this to the growing stack of tributes, a short sharing of a very intense new experience of death and the days after... a little snippet of the entire shared experience the last days with Deva. I pay total tribute here to Paul, to Annie, Gem and Rehana, his devoted carers. -------- ♥ ---------------To hold your fading hand so grand, and one of the youngest, beautiful body parts of you, thank you and sit laser-eyed at your feet, fast upon your heart my parting vision then you choose to depart time ceases still – we all rest.. and soon rejoice, in freedom so sweet, granted friends surrounded the oxygen machine grounded turned off..

and spirit home in seven (did you nip to India?) Hermitage glowing in tangible magic Presence I could only transmit now in eyes brinked to flow In your Superlove Temple We all feast on take-out from the Tiffin Tin - that you pay for in a stack put aside, undeniably Okay’d by you..

it was enough.

And we get to share a chair for a short bit Easy for us both to fit now..

Your body arrives home in three hours

Sleeping in your room the two nights after this

peace on peace deep bedded sleep mixed in sexual union with the stars.. and in the morning I get to mistletoe kiss your forehead and for just then we are the lovers one dead, one alive crossing over these lines that divide.. and this is one story I feel special And in awe of knowing Precisely that you made so many others feel this special – That is some goddam Dharma trick Devapriya Lived, loved and given..
