So Heavy

Rachel Mikulovsky 1980 (WI)

September 22 
Free verse
Made me shine thru the clouds
Brought the best out of my soul
Circles taken then pushed straight
A road others took less turns on
Late night debates in my head
Followed with a dance & laughs
Magical wand of happiness
To remind me I was wanted
Oh it's so heavy to me now
Yet a soft healing memory
A face seen in todays mirror
Alone & without reflection
Of a man who understood
Me. Just me. Thru it all.

About this poem

My husband passed away in March 2022. He had Stage IV IV esophageal cancer. This poem reflects the memories I have as I now go thru life alone.
