Today : Wailings

written by Poet : EC


Today I got a phone call which wasn't unexpected, but it made me sad: My litterally oldest friend has died. As she was 98 years old nobody is surprised, but still, she will be missed for the person she was: A fun-loving and beautiful soul wrapped in the body of a sort of  aging youngster. She kept well and lies in her coffin without any wrinkles.
The fact that she was that much older than me didn't put a stop to our friendship at an early stage. On the contrary, we had such fun and talked so very well about whatever caught our separate interests. She being rich and I not didn't bring any bad feelings to either of us: We simply liked each other.

A week ago I learnt of another death close to home so to speak: My sweet and loving brother-in-law died quite unexpectedly in Holland. To me that's something that strange that I don't shie from calling it "weird".
Believing as I do (at least sort of) that accidents and deaths come in threes I now watch out for any signs of another victim. Perhaps it's me, perhaps it's another totally unexpected person ....
