Familial Shadows

Dullness settles sharply, without warning;
The words are gone, as if they'd never been.
There is but acquiescent pain at the loss.
It is left now to wait
For the familial shadows to pass.

Another good write Deb. The poem I wrote for you was titled "Deb Radke". I submitted the poem here on January 5 of this year. It competed in the Missing Soupers contest and won.
