Consolations: Songs of Grief Surprised by Life and Love (new poem)


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.
