Clementine through the Clouds

clementine through the clouds
a gentle shower of shine

not blinding, but binding
droplets of a restraining eye

so like a passing surname
a sign inhabits the Summer day

hour upon hour of aimless thought
of a most gracious heavenly soul

she had peace as I struggled
my mom dying from same ill

clementine through the clouds
melting like orange sherbert

my eyes taste its pleasant hue
my head in the cotton puffs, soothed

Kim, you speak of this with such kindness and love, that it tugs at my heart. I hope you are well, but also glad that you can share such creamsicle thoughts.

I'm sorry to learn of your loss. Has it been recently? It has been 26 years since daddy's passing and 24 years since mom's passing. I still miss them. Sara K

It is a woman that I prayed with toward the beginning of her illness, shortly after my mom died from same illness. She will be laid to rest today.
