Clark, Jennifer Anne (Memoriam) JENNIFER ANNE CLARK 3/17/1964 - 7/24/2003 To a soul that has lost their love, two years is two moments, one of biggest smiles, one of longest tears. I imagine our life together now, the swirls and eddies, whirl pools and quite pools, but always our good rhythm and winding flow. People tell me I have to let you go, that I have to move on. How do I let go of my bones, move on from my skin? I am parted but never apart from you, my breath, that lives and moves within me. Your picture on my bedside - the last I see when I close my eyes, the first I see when I wake. One day, I will awaken next to you again as we once were, our hair and limbs entwined. And we will smile deeply, kiss simple kisses and listen to the birds sing with the rising sun. My Jennifer - Now & Always Your Mark Published in Newsday on 7/24/2005. Di Gasso, Robert J.
