Spring has left, and taken the colours with her.
Soon winter will arrive to shroud the earth.
Then even their headstones will no longer be seen.
The lights of Christmas will no longer twinkle for me.
There will be no songs, no gifts under a tree.
What had been, will no longer be.
And because my heart is frozen, autumn cries for me.

That was so sad and lovely and I had to read it twice.

It’s very humbling to realise that no matter how much our grief, the world still exists and time still moves on.

What a beautiful, sad poem, Sheena, with a depth to it that is not immediately apparent.
