Visitation Rough Draft

Visitation

The sun came back today
Briefly
For a moment
An hour
No more

It caressed
The cold wet desert
My living room
My soul

Briefly
For a moment
An hour
No more


Nature and time
Planned well for me
Took care of me
In the last few days
Things were right

Briefly
For a moment
An hour
No more


At the end of strain
Struggle
Pain
There was rain

Briefly
For a moment
An hour
No more

A gentle blanket
Furry clouds
Soft slow rain
Constant rain
Three days of rain

Briefly
For a moment
An hour
No more

Four days
No star
None seen
No ray of sun

Peace and rest
The beginning of a healing

Briefly
For a moment
An hour
No more

So also then today
Right at the end
The sun
To say hello 
Goodbye

To set the scene
For Taps
My Vespers

Briefly
For a moment
An hour
No more

Holidays coming
Thanksgiving
Lights to be hung
Life to be lived
Family to be loved

Briefly
For a moment
An hour
No more
