next life and tax day

It is an anniversary, a day of vows and words. When obligations were forever. Where there was a promise of a future. I visited the sacred grove. Talked to ghosts and listened for her whispers. Sometimes the ocean misses the sky more than it can bear. Forever together, forever apart. Next life. I wish I didn’t know what I know. But then that’s the burden of knowledge. Just remember the good and the love that was pure. Remember the bargains kept and obligation upheld. I’ll see you in my dreams. Just remember I loved you and always will. Such is the blessing of the poet. Next life. Be safe.
