solace and sorrow

August

He gave me dead flowers
So I can smell them every day
The rotten petals falling
The color of decay

The washed out sunflower
The dehydrated leaves
The mold on the water
The color of debris

The richly red rose
Now drooping to the floor
The color of love
Existed no more

But still I saved the flowers
And smelled them every day
And watered them with tears
To let them grow again.

A Long Day

I'm tired
You know?
And just so very
Very
Alone

Step

when I see you
take a step

maybe it's a baby step

but I think it's important that
you took the time
to take that step

I'm here

I see you
taking steps

maybe one forward
and one back

but I forgive you
don't look back

breathe

and take another step

Forgive Yourself

How do you
Forgive yourself
For all the
Things that
You never
Became?

Dandelion

From the dandelion puffs,
Memories take flight in gentle fluffs,
Borne by the breeze's tender kiss,
As he found strength to embark in new bliss,
With him went the gentle light,
That guides me through each nightly plight.

Goodbye

Strange, isn't it?

The way we mourn those
Still living...

I miss you.
