Sometimes life veers... its sharp chicane, cruel
Its lead-laden lure... just too much to bear
Minds spin grief’s heedless, vast fishing spool
Sheds earth’s cradled fingers... Death isn’t fair
Hold the ones we love... so very tightly
Fate’s fierce currents... will turn-tail, for no one
Even those who radiate… most sprightly
Vibrant, starred wildflowers... bright dazzling suns
When hearts slip… beyond dusk’s mauve horizon
Silvered, glistening trail... ribbons in wake
Memories shine, chime... threaded strummed diamonds
Love sound’s all; pressed on souls... resonant ache
Wilting, frail ballerinas... bend on breeze
Lily pads, drenched leaves fall... void, in maelstrom
Glint beneath frozen lake... veiled veneer
Iridescent spirits... they shimmer on
Brave Ophelia... now, wherefore art you?
Tears are falling… jewelled, equinox rain
Will the sun... ever, return without you?
To love, but lose... such a bittersweet pain
Soon! Storm clouds will cease... Spring will hop closer
Salmon will leap, blend... with satsuma skies
Smiles will creep... laughter again will warm you
I’ll be the twinkle... in night’s starfish skies
