Five Months Has Past

I walk along life's well worn path
I reach for your hand
Air is within my grasp
Songbirds of equivocal expression
Are my spirits band
The Suns' penetrating rays warm
Upon my allusive mask of a face
As salty tears flow as if in a race
Five months have past my love
Since your physical body eroded
And your dark soul swept away 
No more suffering for you 
Freedom has found you now
Five months has past my love
And still my damaged heart
Searches for a sign from you
But then you the unspiritual 
Monotone, unyielding,phragmatic
Quiet moments filter my memory
Rectify the past I know I did right by you
Five months has past my love
They don't make band aids for broken hearts
Only time can heal

The last two lines are a magnificent culmination to a superbly written poem. '...songbirds of equivocal expression,' '...upon my allusive mask of a face,' '...freedom has found you now.' A deeply emotional write! BRAVO Kelli!! Keith

They do say Time Heals, but its a truth I am unsure of for so great a loss.

When the suffering die the living are left to digest what life has left
