Goodbye

Moment
something ends
another begins

Where is the fanfare
movie music
timed tear

Look back
switch off light
close door

Tuesday night

Shimmery moonlit glow
leafy shadows dance on the wall
soft whispers of nightlight

Little one tucked in
ghostly breeze taps shutter
like Morse code

Dog curled in corner
father under reading lamp

Florescent stove top casting
green beams of illumination

flickering TV screen

Pop of log
flame licking tinder
red cheek from sitting to close

time for sleep

Depths of Despair

That's it
life is over
hang my head
doomsday

1,895 time happened

Sun will shine
smile will form
joke breaks gloom

I guess I will live again

Mental

I watched you suffer
you didn't even know it

Living daily
voices and fears around you

Refuge in family
tales of your day

People are after you
someone trying to do harm

Once in a while smile would crack through

God gave you joy, different than most
I hope you had fun
now you are at peace

Plan

I had it all set
sorted out

this would go here

that would be there

Not so, the Lord knows

Thankful
unanswered prayers
thought I had it right at the time

What I do know, I know nothing
of the life ahead of me

Fear taken over by Faith

Melancholy

Drizzle rain
dim lighting

Soft sounds of door creaks
rustling
perhaps a mouse

Steaming tea
Book by your side

Blanket up to chin
world to hide

Stoic Finn
We love our misery

Feels so good
to feel so sad

Used

Nothing
calls
emails
visit

Name comes up
What does she want

Take, all about you
So sad
