Hearing about a suicide over the Phone

Does it happen more here in Montana , or is it just the norm ? Got word last night that an old friend has killed her self.  Hard times do not mean just lack of money  I guess.


Suicide

Looking at the sunset
after hearing the news,

A light that burned so bright
amid the turmoil of the dark.

Never what she wanted to be,
or what she could have been

She rides across the Montana sky
on a blood streaked white horse.

Finally free of the pain
of being simply mortal,

Proof that money
can't buy happiness.
