The Unignorable Reminder Called November

Drawn into yet another episodic,
Well timed within its periodic,
Nature of pain and plea,
Just as the human psyche tries to catch a flea.

A flea from its sting,
Such pain they can’t bear to sing.
For out of a loss can’t come another,
For living is still a thing for the other.

In fear comes tears,
In it comes words for the Father’s ears.
Shrank within an imbalanced weight,
Never was it a lightweight. 

Called out to the dead but alive,
Silence greeted with a deep dive.
Yet pain and discomfort ensue,
So heightened was this flu.

An endless journey it seemed to dawn
Yet life sustained till dawn.
A captive to life’s silence became she,
To voiced life sustains he.

Toils dissuade the heart,
Emptiness from the cause became the art.
Void was a new form,
It was only a temporary windstorm.

My Life Bearer is My Life Bearer, 
The unknown of thee as willed Hurts no fairer.
Tails of thy love-nurture soothe as healing,
The heart warms, yet is unable to fathom the feeling.

Heaviness of heart, lacking the choice of words, 
Twined this being in concealment afterwards.
Thy silence reaches nearly its fourth decade, My Love,
Pondering how to relive what the infant nature knew of your love. 

Adieu AAA
