Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week in honor of the new year is new beginnings.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
A number poem for someone who has lost his or her spouse and must begin a new life alone:
Single life is hard for those
who've shared
Each day with someone whom they've deeply
loved.
Valuing the quiet loneliness,
Even pain and everyday distress,
Needs a joy in life that's unimpaired.
There's no secret way to happiness,
Yet love is known to have great sadness
moved.
For you I wish a garden of bright
days
In which you stroll among sweet-scented flowers.
Vistas of great peace must fill your hours,
Even as your sad-tinged music plays.
