the light has changed as the grey sky almost
imperceptibly takes on a shimmer as if the sun
no one saw is yet gleaming a farewell to the day
without rain and a haunting angst steals through
the air as the road bends and the trees shiver
almost as if one could reach beyond this moment
and capture something lost or maybe forgotten
though it seems that i can always remember what
he said when i least expect it like a grey day with
barely a hint of blue it still takes me by surprise
with a pang like the unexpected twinge of a scar
long-healed the remembering while painful reminds
me that i am alive and i survive in spite of the pieces
i've left behind and while his words might whisper
through the air at such a twilight moment when i'd
rather think about tomorrow and the coming spring
i can lay each word back down and turn my face to
catch the last rays of a day that was new and one i did
my best to live well and find the hope to keep heart in
a life that has grey days with the hint of glorious hues
