Absence
(Dedication: For my son Michael Zachary,
On a year-long study tour in Canberra, Australia.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Loiter with grace
Stretch learning pace
Absence feels sad
Pain ponders glad
Away from home
Read foreign tomes
Work study course
Flavour right cause
Quest helps ponder
Gift of wonder
Style precious time
Watch prompt flair chime
A broken heart
Greets healing start
Each moment seize
A lasting squeeze
Do what you do
Feel your soul cue
Rainbow and rain
Colours arch plain
Absence marks fond
Grand thoughts love spawns
