Mystic Rose Rose Poet Quatrain

Memories That Just Won'T Go

Shivering me, lost in thoughts of falling snow 
with eyes impaled on lights that blink and glow 
I watch the Christmas scene unfold and flow 
into a stitch of time, that hours can't un-sew 

The little girl in me that once took life in toe 
has disappeared from view and now I must forgo
the ringing of the bells this year, for I am still 
standing at the window waiting for you,  Bill 

Bereavement sucks and life can be a cruel blow 
I am still trying to figure out this slippery hill 
In my hands I hold three stones that I can't throw 
and an armload of love that death can never kill

Perhaps through this I can traverse and grow 
into a brilliant star of heaven and instill
the light that I once held that shone at will 
inside these memories, that just won't go...
