Consolations: Songs of Grief Surprised by Life and Love
by Tim Kavi
in the consolations
of the dearly departed
there are the memories
of sad longing songs
Oh! To find each other again!
but high up in the arms
a grand scheme
are the absent ones
come again
to comfort us
in the sweet compositions
of enduring love.
I grieve the colors
of my parents
my childhood
my wandering youth
always the others too
in the approaching grays
a sunset
where in the horizon--I see appearing
love
in the face of my true love
mine and ours --
the kids
and the everlasting
dialogue of all my teachers
and friends.
