the other day, on the couch
after you finished talking with
our grandchildren long distance
well, i had one of those
“ah ha!” moments
and finally understood.
Your bottom lip quivered-
ever so slightly
and those soulful eyes
revealed to me
what was in your heart.
Every day that goes by without your
“Luna and Solstice fix,”
as you call it
is a depressing day at best and
i know it hurts.
i love how you reassure yourself
that; despite the distance and
years slipping by
and the influence of
“the other Grandma,”
you slyly take comfort in the fact
that you still have a
beautiful connection with them
and i love you for that.
Adding your comment:
Gush. Lovely. Loving. how I love this side of your poetry
