The Ides of March

The ides of March sing consideration
for widows who must accept that new name.
 
The guides of March bring realization:
 life, as it was, will never be the same.

The tides of March trace recalibration
as adjustments to the world we re-frame.

I confide this March in my Salvation.
Where do skeptics go in grief’s waiting game?
 
The offsides of March face deliberation.
mistakes made, can we move on without blame?

So sad what you told me at my other poem. Same thing happened to one of my nephews so young and with so much promise

Thank you Andrea. Am making progress on the adjustments to widowhood.
