Poem Title:
Poem
I was an experienced family therapist, helping families maintain functionality, As wandering, starlit seasons maintain all nature, being rooted in practicality. I loved preserving healthy relationships, that foundation of healthy societies; And kept up a fruitful dialogue between the families, which relieved anxieties. I, myself, had come from a happy home, never causing huge worries or fears, For dear ones that I loved, never seemed to be leaving, as silvery cloud tears. Friends dropped by like colorful fall, never failing to fetch the fondest smiles, In the midst of a watchful, apricot noon, when rouge butterflies were in exile. Family flew past fluffy clouds each fall, when autumn was pretty and frumpy, Like field blossoms of windswept fragrance, elegantly disheveled and grumpy. I lived in the house of sweet memories, and smiling faces on rose hued walls, As rouge sun swims in roses nightly, prior to descending the precipitous falls. Street performers were small, singing sparrows, on my swank avenue of sun; Like a solo turns into a chorus, creating a prettier song-more elegantly done! Nearsighted neighbors came to see me nights, and gaze at nacre pearl moon, On the peach, peony porch of my placidness, in colors of the faded afternoon. All were seized in summer's saffron grip, creating orange juice mist sunsets, Like walking away, when it is best, and yet brave enough to have no regrets. Flowers thrilled hot, apricot hours, and birdsong excited long, obsidian nights, Cats slept on porches of ruby pansies, their short, sweet lives full of delights. Then persistent tragedy finally struck me, when I lost a dear family member; And while I suffered long and cried, I was comforted by smiles I remembered! I found great solace in my work, for helping others paves the way for smiles, Like keeping glad eyes on the summer garden, to delve its newest color files. I found a love and was eventually married, like first tango of sun and planets; And we and our children continue family traditions, like lofty birdsong habits. Today, my grief is much diminished, like storm clouds fading into saffron sun, For minds full of memories, help loving hearts heal, like rosy day just begun.
