Losing Someone We Love

The pain and sadness

There is so much beauty in the air,

life bursting with spring,

jubilant color and motion.

But the colors fade before my eyes,

and the warm spring air

does not touch me.

How can I loosen the chill of winter now

that you are dead,

and the warmth of your body

is gone!

How can I see beauty without

its reflection in your eyes,

feel the jolt of joy without

your soul to share it?

When will I laugh again?
