When Spring Comes Again c2019

written by: Pamela Tyree Griffin

And when Spring comes again –
with the month which includes your birthday-
we will smile.

For a moment we shall not recall
that your birthday cake will
not materialize.
There will be no candles
casting shadows from a ballet of tiny flame.

We will temper our glee
for the sadness never leaves for long.

When Spring comes again –
and our hearts beat selfish and unrelenting-
we will say a desperate prayer
longing for you to be there

when Spring comes again

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

In memory of and love for my precious little brother (1963 – 2019) RIP

THE END OR A NEW BEGINNING? by Cristina Crucianu

I woke up to my grandmother whispering to me: “It’s over. She’s passed.”

Like an automaton, I got up, and I obliged myself to hand in the project I had been hired for before all the frenzy of organizing a funeral began. A calm sky was lazily waking up as if nothing had happened. In the distance, the roosters’ crows were alerting the villagers that it was time to wake up.
