Seasons Come and Go

Birds bedded down. The cool air circulates. Whispers of crickets. The black noise hushes. Yawns give way to tears - the ducts erupting. An autumnal wave crashes over me. It’s obvious how seasons come and go, as mom’s settled in purple urn - the ashes keep; without incandescence in her sleep.

Wow! Such a seamless interweaving of the darkening of seasons with the darkening of life. Fantabulous write, Kim. ~ Tears duly jerked out of me...

Seasons come and go as life waxes and wanes. We all will eventually fade into oblivion. A wonderful tribute to the seasons.

We will…don’t we know it. So strange to think of how many years before we ever arrived. God bless you, Jerry!

This is one of my fave poems by you, truly so beautiful, the imagery and descriptve flow of this and depth of emotions so poetically delivered , especially felt it so much as you wrote “ moms settled in purple urn, the ashes, “ so poignant and heartfelt. Sigh, seasons come and go indeed. Sending you light always
