Orchid Memory
Dark layers of tomb
surround my sunshine,
as I fade
into
the gray of you.
I wilt to shades
of orchid
shades of moss,
shades…
of gone.
as I weep
as you lay
as I weep
still, so still
you stay
Conjuring hope
in icy touch-
one kiss
one hand-fist
of dust.
as I weep
as you lay
Morning dew
gathers
to grace my eyelids.
as I weep
still, so still
you stay
Blowing wind-chilled kisses
I challenge you
to rise..
~Alas~
even I
am not so
convincing.
as I weep
as you lay
Frost bitten goodbye
on the top
of a coffin box.
Flowers of orchid memory-
and your tomb.

I lost my Mom and a close colleague in the same week last November. Death is a hangover that has to be nursed. There's no rushing through grief. And it shouldn't be rushed. Let the emotion and memories warm you in the sad and somber moments. The good will crash through the bad of your loss ...

You need some of the good whiskey I'm sipping, to ward off the impending Monday blues

The pain of human experience letting go of the physical one last time. Very real. Very true.
