the summer solstice...or summer monsoon...approaches...warm days...flip flops...the memory of thousand pound snow boots recedes...and yet, i feel blue...father's day weekend...it is the same for many...and while i am thankful for having a truly wonderful father-in-law...while my heart is warmed when watching lauren and michael together...this year...after so many...the loss of my father tugs at me...the passage of time changes loss...never erases it...for those of you celebrating with your dad this weekend...enjoy that blessing...for all the dads, bask in your special day...and for those of you with that ache in your heart...think of the funniest, best memory of your dad...and smile...i usually don't put my poems in my blog...but here is one...
shiva
i was left wanting
in your absence
despite the earth
the sun
the sky
the glory of those treasures,
like stale crumbs trailing
a hungry mouse's refusal,
the temptation in vain
imagining your laughter
dancing in a cool morning rain
