Night's Thaw |

Night’s thaw wove a chill, a sudden gust of air across the streamer of tears upon a brow. Seeming so innocent in ways that puzzled, pulled and pacified... Yet, though the thaw wove and the gust blew, and the puzzling pull pacified...I lie here, this bed suddenly devoid of the breath that I heard countless times. For his coming brought the sudden reality of your loss and I stood there, my hands chilled without your own caressing each knuckle, each soft curvature. And though you passed quietly, so starkly suddenly...and the linger of pain did not mask over the serenity....I feel hurt beyond words. For I never got to tell you goodbye. (For my neighbor whose husband passed suddenly this afternoon) |

Thanx ladies, unfortunately his death was very sudden....they had just eaten at a local restaurant and were leaving when he collapsed. He never awoke from it... I pray for her that she can rest this evening, for a bed can certainly be very empty when two have shared it for many years. |

Lightning strikes, without rain, without thunder...a neighbor reels and falls... High art is when the heart of the poet Rises above the sadness And writes its feelings down. A hard subject, very well done... -----------ice ><> |
