Belonging

Coughing smoke

Escape- my reprieve.

Breaths of air,

my relief.

My eyes

searching now

find the flickering flames.

I see them.

Faces of love

encircle.

Warmth,

we gather.

To Run With You

Maybe I’ll get well enough to run with you

Delusions of grandeur held your mind

your reality a reclining prison

Your passion: another draw on the cause

Stage 4 Renal Sarcomatoid

There’s still hope for me isn’t there, doc?

Dum spiro, spero

2 months, the best of the best saw a year

Terror, horror

Spirit of Truth

We love you

Desolation

Dum spiro, spero

Begin again

Counseling, Crossroads

An invitation

I’ll run when pigs fly

Dum spiro, spero

Eden Park and I’m a Flying Pig

Giant Krohn butterfly- a sign

Intercessor gifting your care

Elvis impersonator serenading - If I Can Dream

like you were singing in the kitchen again

You ran with me

I miss you, dad

I love you

Spero
