My friend died today
And all the stars are weeping
Even our fair sun
Burned in sadness and anger
Soothed only by cotton clouds.
Tag: grief
It is hard for us
To describe how exhausting
It is to listen
To the asshat that lives in
The highest office we have
Memories of you,
Captured in light and shadow,
With folded corners…
Alas, all photos will fade,
But your smile is forever.
A day given back
To more than a memory
Greater than a thought
Part of our being, mirrored
Despite the folded corners
Lightening strikes The Bay!
Quickly and without warning.
We throw curses back,
But the storm continues past,
Unimpressed with our shouting.
Green tea in my cup
Still, warm and waiting for me,
To make the next move.
But all I can do is stare
Alice, is this how you felt?
White wondrous world,
Above the horizon line,
Tell us a tall tale,
Of an ocean so somber,
It brings you to silver tears.
Summertime sadness,
Is a beautiful thing that –
You will never know.
Forgive me for not being
Able to see life without.
For Mathew
though you have left us,
for that distant horizon,
where we all must go,
never shall we let our hearts,
outdistance your memory.
A single tear falls,
My cheek then caught unawares,
This unannounced guest,
Unwelcome but there with key,
Goodnight gentle Papa Bear.
