Resonance - A Poem

The following poem was written by Frank's niece Brigitta in 2003 in memory of Frank's mother Dorothy Cleland.  She felt that this poem was also well-suited to Frank.

Resonance

There is peace in the space where I keep you.

A certain depth of sadness
Lit by grace and dignity,

Quiet,
Quiet.

A song of brilliant green
Deepens,
Shelters,
Whispers wisdom,
Colors weeping red
To turn brittle in the autumn sun,
Falling gently with the frost.

I will hold you.

And the memory of a touch,
Distant and profound,

Lies in clarity at the heart of it all.
