Spring healing.

Last day of Poem a Day therapy for me over at Robert Lee Brewer's Poetic Asides blog. The prompt: write a fade-away poem.

My offering:

FADE

I’m drawn outside
by the
first lilac on my tree
knowing
you’ll never see
leaving me to
rock and keen
the sudden
loss of you
Spring’s early heat
wraps its arms
around me
enfolds
like a mama holds
her child,
kissing my face
soothe
soothe
here now
here now
