Constance La France Poet Dizain

Lost To the Wind

 
There is not a moment that my grief fades,

for you are with me every single day;

I try to pretend but sorrow cascades_  

I stroll holding a wildflower bouquet,

through the ornate cemetery archway;

I have come again Mom to speak with you_
 
After your death my heart and soul withdrew, 

I talk but my words are-   lost to the wind;

my life changed when I kissed your lips adieu,

and now love and grief is forever twinned_
