Red among blue hydrangeas
by jason-drury
we lost you in April
during the rains
it was as if the sky was grieving
we lost you right before the blooms
that awake during the crisp morning
we lost you, and it is April again
they speak to you now in silence
and in memory
we lost you…yes
maybe physically
but, I see you during the spring
where life is full and lush
I see you in the cardinals
they fly free in ribbons of gold
this is where I see you
among blue hydrangeas
