Grief

---

Since your journey the seasons have changed;
Gray skies transformed into blue.

Since your journey the hard ground has given birth
To green, thriving life anew.

Since your journey the air vibrates
With fluttering, cheerful song.

Since your journey the nighttime fades
Into days that are warm and long.

Since your journey the world all around me
Is revived and brand new.

But since your journey really nothing has changed;
It’s still winter for me—without you.


For Mom
5/1/2006
I miss you.
