Another dear friend
Crosses the misty bridge
Fog condenses into tears

Of all life’s impermanence

Gratitude
When I miss you most
I go into your closet
Take a long deep breath
Close my eyes and feel you near
Grateful for good memories
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and A Word Challenge #150: Gratitude
Grief
Wave of grief
Watching your chest rise
For the last time
All the questions
I never asked
Untended
Butterflies dance
With wild abandon
Untended garden
Reminder
Everywhere I look
Mothers and daughters shopping
Grocery cart blurs
History
Old family photograph
All the stories
I’ll never hear
