A Mourning in October

Joined in the soil

Of the earth where

Hearth meets calm of

Night, I see you there

Dawn waiting to find

Another birth so that

Nowhere can take you

Inside where things find

Ease and you find comfort.

Light waits for us all

Every time I think of you

Righted by those things.

Now seeing what is truly made

So human based at our core

That is where I’ll see you again.
