Many friends know the story of my sister-in-law's struggle with cancer. Marti passed away on August 14 at her home in Marble, Colorado. After her funeral, I spent several days with my brother and four of their children still at home. This poem has been winding its way through my heart since then.

CRYSTAL
TEARS
Crystal River catch my salty tears,
Crystal River catch my salty tears,
Meld them
with the melted snows
That pass o’er
marbled terrains
