You’ve come to me in a dream again.
This time it’s exactly a year since
you left us,
after fist fighting with death
until there was no fight left.
Now here you are-
radiant and giddy,
“Fine as frog’s hair,”
unencumbered by aging or illness…
or a life that never pulled any punches.
I reach out with both arms
to pull you closer.
As I am about to touch you,
poof!
you are gone again.
touching and dreamlike
Thank you for this. I can totally relate to this since I lost my husband 6 years ago and had very similar dreams. I love how you see poetry in the everyday. Definitely worth investigating further after all this is over.
Oh, this one made me catch my breath. Thank you for sharing
I could relate to this poem. I lost my husband two years ago and I understand the emotion. Thank you for writing.
