The Joy of Being
Jan 10, 2024
A sense of worth, a sense of loss
a sense of transience encumber
us as we navigate the lightness
of ourselves and the darkness within
this chamber of life.
Pewter figurines topple to send
a message of love and longing
from the atoms dispersing through
the skies.
The connection as brief as it was
when my mother passed
the song on the radio, love’s theme ,
so reminiscent so painful
but the figurines ajar were playful
a hug from beyond, a final parting smile
that lifted me beyond our joy of being
friends.
