Life gives us lemons
My neice died a year ago. In the a poem New Eyes... referis to IN heaven
POEM
Life gives us lemons,
size and tartness, life's fruit vary,
some used for lemonade,
some so sweet, the result a square,
Remaining fruit bestowed once squares of past consumed
New Lemons arrive
Crates of fruit set before us,
Staring into yellow shapes with pain filled eyes,
all in close proximity to minds disposal,
yellow wisps whirling down,
mechanical sound a gracious melody,
echos in the deep sink of life,
weight is lifted through the sweet, soothing sound
Surely this is the answer
Disposal,
Yellow fading, site less menacing
mind begins to calm,
mouths corners angle toward the heavens
Surely this is the answer
A knock at life's door,
a gift of despair,
yellow as far as the soul can see,
Acceptance resisted to no avail,
despair now in the hands,
looked upon with utter defeat,
shoulders slouch,
shallow breath ,
eyes close upon swelling pools
New eyes open
Glancing down into yellow filled hands,
mouths slight angle returns,
walking as yellow dilemma is peeled,
permafrost garden of the past before us,
earth is broken,
seeds fall between anxious fingers,
eyes wide with content,
sun above,
watching harvest grow into squares of future,
Life gives us lemons.
(Life does not end just because it ends here....) May use parts of this maybe none... Either way I'm sorry for your loss.. Havn't heard that enough I'm sure! Good luck in the future. God bless you
