I watch the doves dip and weave
Chasing one another,
Yet I grieve
For a life I’ve dreamt about
Since I was a child,
In a grey, aging, house
There were giggles
And four children the cause,
Despite their loss
Of the everyday normalcy
Of Mom being near,
Nothing making sense, life unclear
If love exists, breathes, you say
Will it fulfill my wish,
Not run – at the top of my list
So sovereign Cardinals in my view
Standing watch, yearning
Might keep me from melancholy.

Empathizing with melancholy…. I like Ben’s suggestion. May your spirit be lifted, Audrey. 💕

Good advice, Ivor. Rain would be nice about now. I wouldn’t mind dancing in it, maybe.

So many of our dreams never come true, Audrey, but some of mine have and some of yours too. I guess your kids are in Texas this summer, making you lonely. Sending you good wishes.
