It's snowing now; has been for a day
Or more. The evergreens are
pregnant
Pure with white, and the
sidewalks sigh
With the weight until shovels
clear
And the sun arrives and it
can breathe again.
Now the elm tree waits,
hoping Springtime will
Renew all the innocence and
joy that
It once knew 'til the Winter
winds
Blew her covers far away
And laid bare her soul for
the world to see.
And you were gone in the
early Autumn air.
As the leaves were falling,
fate was
Planning, too. And you left
me here
Standing stark and alone;
sighing, shivering
With loss no one has ever
known before.
...Sadly now, the leaves have
simply blown
Away 'til threadbare limbs
flail wild in
Winter winds. And I'm
wondering,
Are you somewhere safe
tonight?
And does God have mercy for
those left behind?
