February in my Arms

February is
In my arms still holding me
Like a cloud in sky

And I haven’t cried
Don’t leave yet month too soon gone
I see spring ahead

Wait while I gather
The tears from splinter’s fester
I am infected

Hold me still longer
February in my arms
Fading memory

Open the dripping
Do not seal the lament
The mourning’s not let

I am just a traveler looking for a home, finding I carry it around with me, and sometimes it's just too heavy.

I've cried enough tears for both of us and several others in this bleak month... shall I share? *S*

This is so beautiful, Martie... your love sparkles and endures and inspires... even without the prism of tears.

Why do I weep when I read your February poems? Perhaps it's the sentiments that your words wring from the pits of my spirit, mixed with the loss I feel in your loss, because I love you

Not every body has the gracious ability to share heartache so well...God gave you many gifts, and writing has helped not only you, but so many others who believe they are alone in loss...

thank you, Sissie.
