Matthew Is Gone and Will Never Be Back

May 26, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is grief in honor of those who have died of Covid-19 and of Memorial Day, which is celebrated in the U.S. on May 25th.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A name poem about the relationship between the beauty of love and grief:

Matthew is gone and will never be back.
Although we all loved him, we'll see him no more.
The beauty of love leads to anguish at death,
The fear and the hunger the price of each breath,
Held like a gift that has loss at its core.
Each day without Matthew is filled with our lack,
Winds from the sea that make grief sing and soar.
