This entire trip

I have been

Followed by spirit

In different forms

Butterflies, dragonflies

Ladybugs, the wind

Coming at my beck and call

Rain avoiding me on the lake

Then hitting when

"Kiss the Rain"

Played randomly in my earbuds

My great grandfather

The "sheepherder" of my visions

Herding my transitioned family

Into order

He is finally happy

His grave is remodeled

Complete

His picture

Prominently displayed

His wife's grave

At a different cemetery

We had redone as well

Every time I would visit

I'd notice the butterflies

Circle around me

My brother's little plaque

Sits at an angle

Next to my great grandfather

My aunt, my mother's older sister

Whom she never met

Had a ladybug on hers

Every resting place for

Our family's vessels

Were teaming with life

We were surrounded

Followed by spirit

Many times to also protect

As we visited mine and my mom's

City of birth

We went to the

Dead end street

Where my grandfather's house

Now totally unrecognizable stood

Many of his old neighbors

My mom's age or older

Came out to greet us

They seemed nice, amicable

But somewhere between the start

And the end of that gathering

My mom's kabbalah bracelet

Broke from her wrist

And her watch stopped working

Though we both had our batteries

Changed before the trip

Whatever evil eyes

Or bad juju

Took the brunt

Away from her

As for me

I had my great aunt Mira's

Pin on me

Along with my red string

She being my guardian angel

Always had my back

I wasn't touched

My mom fixed her watch

With a new battery

But the realization yet again

That energy can manifest

In such a way

Stunned her

While I just smiled

So as spirit came to us

And with us

It was a powerful feeling

That brought peace each time

Save one

My mom is the logical and skeptical one

But this was another example

To her of the fact that

There's more to this world

That we live in

Always believe
