October Morning: In Memoriam R. V.

October winds shake seasonal
Death from the trees sending
Waves of debris rustling around
An empty back yard.

Last night’s news leaves an
Empty spot at the family
Table and a void in all of
Our saddened hearts.

We look on as life sends good
And bad without regard for
Changing seasons hopeless or
Hopeful or indifferent.

At today’s end rest will come
Memories will be shaken through
Our mind as sleep eludes us
But only for a few moments.

Those moments will fleetingly tell
A story of days past and laughter
Shared yes mostly laughter
Always shared with joy.
