All Seasonal Refrain

From the chimes settling morning—
Another time, another change
I slept in your clothes yesterday;
The break in brass and sleep numbing
Red blur— buried color, holding
The lasting eyes in my love's grave—
Would this dawn, you could only stay,
Instead heaps of morning glories

Summer beats down, passing morning
On from our daydreams in the night.
Your ghost on some green there walking,
In shadows and flowers besides.
Winter, approach as ice now freed—
Our love for time, distance of chimes.

Paige, this reads like memory wrapped in silk and frost. “I slept in your clothes yesterday” is such a soft and devastating image--grief and longing threaded through every seasonal shift. Your use of the Italian sonnet form feels effortless, even as the emotion lingers like chimes in cold air. Absolutely beautiful and quietly haunting.

Dear Paige, lovely poetess, I am deeply moved by the melancholy mood and beauty of your poem. Such emotional and soulful imagery “Another time, another change/I slept in your clothes yesterday” - so very poignant, potent and intimate. The creative expression in this heartfelt piece is exquisite. Warmest wishes my sweet friend.. ~Susan

So lovely, such a comfort; I lost my husband this year. Although I know he is far better off, I miss him dearly. Sometimes, I feel his presence in the familiar chair that he always used. Love that unique line "I slept in your clothes, yesterday."

Ah the depth of this truly hits my soul so very deeply! I love especially the line “ Another time, another change I slept in your clothes yesterday;” and ofcourse you did the form very well: the metaphors and how youv played around with words to express truly is impressive. Pleasure reading this. Sending you light always

Hello, my dear friend. I lost my dad in February, but this is not about him. For personal reasons, my muse has been led to write about death... I have my reasons, but anyway, thank you, you are such a kind soul, A.S.
