hand raised in shield and salute
I’ve watched my retreating love
disappear southward
his warmth a mockery
his smile weak and distant
the cold of his absence
claims my world
each day sees a larger plot
of my heart in shadow and frost
as he grows smaller
and now the rain
has washed away
the consoling memory
of his wink and grin
someone tells me
he has turned
reconsidered his leaving…
tomorrow and tomorrow
will he be nearer?
will his closeness thaw my heart?
when will I know?

Now yours is in the scrap heap and rethought althogether...you have inspired me to reach further. So, you will not get it in time for Christmas but I am going to bring Christmas to you all year long...it is my mission.
It's beautifully written, Lisa. But very sad!
