Is it too early to mourn the year? The things undone? The things we plan to leave behind? I think I’m ready to let 2022 go. And if this week’s artwork, brevity or music inspires, please join me in penning something, 50 words or less, to this week’s theme. If you post to your website, please ping me back here so I can be sure to enjoy your creation.
Happy Tuesday!
A Farewell Poem
The final prayers said,
the young mourner
wanting no more to think
of black and white,
death and life,
heads below sprightly leaves,
ones dangling somewhere in between,
colorful funeral arrangements
for the day’s dearly departed.
And below a honeyed canopy,
the weeper will sit to write
her farewell poem,
in her heart knowing
mother would approve.
