The Universe is speaking to me

From photographs appearing
on my laptop
in the year 2018
Shaya's there
in all his glory
and he's even half smiling,
standing,
hovering
over Sarah and Boris,
Faye
and next to me.

Yesterday
was my birthday.
It all happened
in the morning.
I saved that photo
in as many places as I could..
It made me
glow inside
and feel the warmth.

Last night
I learned about
a music style
from Kiev
Ukraine.
I learned about a man
who collected music
on records
and saved them
for posterity.

That's not only the universe talking,
but yelling out loud.
Shaya was here
with me
celebrating my music.
