Colors
Back when the water was blue
we told each other secrets.
And we talked through all the days.
But sometimes
colors change,
don’t they?
we told each other secrets.
And we talked through all the days.
But sometimes
colors change,
don’t they?
Background for this Poem:
This woman has experienced the loss of her spouse. She is now looking at the sun setting on her own life, hence the color change of the ocean and sky. The poem is inspired by the recent death of one of my neighbors. His wife is now alone. She is 99. He was 98.
