Passage of time
after death
of a loved one.
Marking moments
memories of friends and
intimacies of marriage
make me remember.
And yet
The door is closing
must close
on past times
A new freedom beckons
bittersweet
Strife-less; less safe,
haven lost to find
in new life:
breath
peace
hope
with fond remembrances of
You.
(In memory of Alan Tun, my wonderful husband and best friend)
