Recollections

Recollections summon a difficult happiness,

Summon an unforgiving and harsh delicacy.

Perhaps that is the cost of satisfaction:

One loves what time or whirlwind will obliterate.

Keep in mind, then, those whom you have adored

In blended euphoria and distress. Sing a tune

As gorgeous similar to your adoration, and grieve

Like one who is by some opportunity favoring moved.

Long stretches of grieving are a festival,

A dance whose recuperating elegance supports connection,

Yielding distress that will redemptive demonstrate.

This is a poem I wrote that contains many precious feelings.

Thank you for reading.

I hope you enjoy it.
