Left alone to fend for herself,
she waited silently in the garden,
like yesterday’s faded bloom.
The leaves turned brown too early.
October blew in colder than the ides of March,
and November brought all forward movement
to a screeching halt.

Down the lane the dogs bayed restlessly
at an icey-blue silvery moon
that should have been glowing golden.
Three steps more to the left
and she would be kneeling
at the very spot of his last touch.

November always brings chilled thoughts.
Even the laughter of the school children
in their joyous pre-Christmas mood hurts her ears.
Sighing into the winds of fall,
she sifts the soil through tired fingertips,
memories grounded once again in him.

Is there a reason this season
feels so strongly of him?

Beautiful poetry, and sentiment.
She can always have her Blessed Hope.
God Bless.

thanks, JL
it's a rewrite/repeat
for someone who lost the love of her life
after sixty years

and no easy adjustment is possible
