Grieve

[Seiryu]

Humbly, for my ame soeur here, and for my lifelong friend out there and her daughter and for His Mom, and for my sisters and brothers everywhere.  I know, feel and share your pain.

"Just in case you thought Memorial Day was just another excuse to get drunk or cookout."



Grieve


It said you were gone.
Saving others.
I already knew.
I was at your Mother's.

Realization.
That look in her eye.
The same in mine.
We held each other.
We began to cry.

No words spoken.
Weeping.
Sobbing.
Silence.

We felt your soul leave.
A consuming aching chill.
Cold pain as we grieve.

RIP
