A farewell

 

Thumping heart

be silent a while

let me breath

I must see

her countenance one last time

before all is lost

I remember

.

Not a day goes by

when I don’t spend a moment

thinking about you.

Of loss and love

 

Three thousand runners
with numbers pinned to their fronts
and there on their backs
a message, the loved ones lost.
I wept for my step father.

London

 

There is little one

can say or do, nothing seems

to make it better.

Hair today, gone tomorrow

 

Such sacrifices

made in pursuit of wisdom;

I’d rather have hair.

Your face

 

My memories fade

and nothing lasts forever;

I can’t revive you.

Christmas card list

.

I have reached the age

where there are fewer Christmas 

cards sent or received.

In the lap of the Gods

 

Where did it all go?

Youth, enthusiasm and

immortality.

A photograph is not enough

 

Since you left, I long

to see your face, to talk, to

cup your hands in mine.
