Thinking we had time
We planned a day fishing
Sometime, then, no times.

Lost

Tags

flowers, loss, poem, poetry, roadside, sadness, shrine, time

on passing a road side shrine

 

Haphazard blooms
From sodden bouquets
Roadside pathos
Empty armed,
Teddies with fixed grins
Clutch condolence cards
“Now with the Angels”
“Rest in Peace”
“Miss you”
Traffic, and time, passes

time passes

all of a sudden
trees are bare and wind has teeth
a blink of an eye
