Hi, folks.
I hope this post finds you all well. Poetry continues to be a good way of getting through this pre-anniversary feeling, or the absence of any logical feeling, just weird emotional numbness. I wouldn’t have thought about a sonnet if we hadn’t been challenged to write one at university. Chris remains my muse, as ever. Maybe one day I’ll write something which conveys what I want to say about her impact on my life. For now, this will do. More poetry to come, I think.
Your Sacrament
Time for solemn introspection ahead
Remember those lessons, a life well spent
Through long days of darkness your life had led
Though to you each breath was your sacrament
You taught me so well, defeat I still spurn
The love that you gave, you never asked back
But you left me that day, much still to learn
Your love for your Lord a sacred contract
I love you still, ‘til the end of my days
The end of the tale a chance that we take
Now and forever in still deeper ways
Real love and true glory, life’s greatest stakes
The gifts that you left us daily go on
Your journey continues, beloved one.
Wishing you all strength and peace on your journeys,
