she awakes happy
to a brand new day
blue sky and soft pink clouds
then
thoughts of you
ink spills over her fresh dawn
she prays
let this cup pass from me

I know this feeling. Love and loss. Beautifully said.
ReplyDeleteLovely in the beginning, then a subtle change. The ending is mysterious.
ReplyDelete"ink spills over her fresh dawn"...The contrasting images make the pain so sharp and the speaker so vulnerable.
ReplyDeleteYes "Ink spills over her fresh dawn " is an excellent image. Full of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteGrief so well-described, "ink spills over her fresh dawn" and the quotation from Matthew drives it home all the more bitterly.
ReplyDeleteI do appreciate the Biblical quote. Reminds me of Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens' album, An Other Cup.
