A Cold Memory

November wind

strokes the river bank

earth sliding

tumbles into nothing

 

but a memory. Muddy

scar on the clean surface

the only sign

it ever was there

and yet a reminder

of your love so far away.

This makes me feel sad. It's a brilliant idea for a poem though, to take something we have all seen and concentrate on it, give it meaning

Hello Di, and thank you for your kind words. It is a sad poem because I was away from my wife for two months while I lived with my mom 1,500 miiles away. She was recuperating from surgery and I lived in her apt. in Toronto.
