The Eternal Season


Grief stains like red wine spilt
on a white linen shirt.

Loss calculated by
what-ifs and almost-weres.

Eternity, a place
of safe conjecture

for those still running
from Marathon.

A warmth that brings
no comfort

begets a blossoming flower
that endures a lifetime.

A mountain-top in Winter,
A desert in Summer,

Branches in Fall.
Spring…

when?
