Petals fall from trees that
trace a gentle sombrous absence;
slipped over coats of nostalgia,
we beg for the treats of our past.
Liquid memories gone dry with Time,
our hearts stepped on with ruddy boots;
and strength prevails a curious concordance-
alleviate me
strip the
pain
a w a y . . .
Let it fall down our cradled arms with gratitude,
and look fondly on the blackest nights-
for these have the brightest stars.
Author notes
I feel your pain here, and I just want you to know that even though it's difficult to lose a pet or a family member or a friend, they always live on through our memories. :] Lots of love.
