Flare

They say it's not my business to console her, to lend her grief brief respite, for winds blow cold on remote torments and regret; yet death revived an ember, a flare not shared since we were one in better days that I cannot forget.

How tender this heart is. This is the truest form of love to love without expecting it to be returned.

You touched me deeply with this compassionate poem, Keith. Only a kind soul would offer an estranged love consolation at such a time. I have read many of your poems and they are all awesome, but I know I will remember this one for a long time. Thank you for sharing, Carolyn
