Luminous in the early sun
Your colors
Embodying the points of his soul
From notes of deep despair
Lighter shades of laughter
Sometimes deep red anger
Or shimmers of translucent tenderness
All of him
Hanging in your branches
Like ornaments
One by one falling away
These cold nights speeding their journey
Soon to be gone
As he had to be just two years ago
But it seems ever so long

This is so in the moment, tangible.
We can bring people back, in our minds, we just can't bring them back
The longings of the lost ones leaves a vaccum
Can’t be filled
Can’t let go
It’s a feeling that remains forever
So well captured dear poet
Thanks for sharing
Wow.
This could be written for me, my wife passed almost two years ago. Wonderful words Lorna - thank you
Andy
Yes I remember it was right around the same time as my Jay died - both of Alzheimers...... followed up almost immediately by Covid restrictions ... we've had such a fun time no Andy? We can try to stay positive and I certainly know you do, but deep down it stinks.......... I'm having my ribeye today.
Good write Lorna.
When a thing of beauty fills us up and brings out of us the most joyous enlivened thing we can be.... then where is forgetfulness... no-where.
Let the fire blaze in memory and rejoice that it was in YOUR life, you know you lived... and then some!
All found in your wonderful poetry today.
That makes me smile - thank you Dusk.
