it's been a while now, but here goes...


hey, Mum

`


there must be light still
at willow creek, though
I'm a million miles away

there's a reason for everything
though ours is still out there
what remains is your empty chair

this season of grief has lingered
seven years tarried too soon
an abysmal moment here; marooned

Perhaps waiting a while gave you time to sort your thoughts, to come to find what is important. This is a touching poem, and well worth the wait.
