I lift the cover on the night,
And find you there,
In your whole beauty.
That is the place I meant,
The charm of your new cottage in a valley,
When I made my promise to you,
When I was alone, lost in yearning.

Married again now, showers of magnolia;
I move to know what you know.
You strove to cure me, even as you were fading from Earth.
I gently lift the cover on the night,
And find you there,
In your whole beauty.
My darling.

    So sorry!

  2. Jeff Ernest says:

    Only a faith in Christ can extend us past our mere mortal self. I pray you find that out Jon. It isn’t about logic or proof when it comes to faith in Christ. I am truly sorry you are going through this right now.

      Beautifully said. I wholeheartedly concur. Only faith Jesus can bring you through the pain of grief. It’s been 17 years since the death of my 19 year old daughter. I still grieve on her birthday and the day of her death, but I do have the greatest hope of seeing her again. I celebrate her life and the memories she gave me.

    Losing a wife let alone all is Hell!

  4. paschn5167 says:

    After nearly 50 years together, I imagine the grief I’ll avoid if I pass first – But then, realize the grief my love will suffer. Then, I consider the alternative and I think of the grief my sweetheart will avoid but I’ll be put through. Life, what joy, what sorrow.

    Just shows how UN-natural death is, how wonderful life can be – in SPITE of the evil descending upon the Christian/Muslim world;

    “Thanks to the terrible power of our international banks, we have forced the Christians into wars without number. Wars have a special value for Jews, Since Christians massacre each other and make more room for us Jews. Wars are the Jews’ Harvest, The Jew banks grow fat on Christian wars. Over 100 million Christians have been swept off the face of the earth by wars and the end is not yet.”

    Beautiful way to express the wonder of encountering the meta-narrative of our experience through losing contact with a large part of our personal narrative. The shaman’s timeless journey – we experience it when we lose someone close, and we will experience it when we pass on. It is literally unfathomable (finding the bottom of the river). Symbolized so well in the final sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

  8. Sally Singer says:

    Sending you loving thoughts

  9. Reblogged this on John Barleycorn and commented:
    Great tribute

  10. Brief and very sweet.

  11. Jim Luscombe says:

    Condolences, Jon. My wife is one of the few bright lights in this increasingly dark world. I dread the inevitable day when we must part. Courage, my friend that I have never met.

  12. Brian says:

    Thank you, Jon. Beautiful words. I am praying for you.

  13. Larry says:

    Loving brushstrokes on the canvas of your lives…

  14. Nadir Martello says:

    Dear Jon Rappoport,

      Jon
      You are a testament to faith, hard work, and diligence.
      God speed, friend!
      You, of course, don’t know me, but through your literature, I know a bit of you!
