Enshrines me today

The blue ocean I viewed yesterday

Is grey and unappealing at this hour

The sun is hiding

And my girls are so happy with

Their full nest as their college

Boys are home again…

My nest is waiting for

The winds of time to blow

It away as our life is dwindling

Down with a nest full of memories

Of days gone by…

Purging is the word of the day

Purge this flu

This fear

This unhappiness and

Hope for a better hour

A better day and better way…

My heart is heavy with this

Gloom that resides not knowing

How to remove and sweep it

Away…

The sun is peeking out

Giving me hope

That this black cloud will

Also move out of my heart

And soul…
