    Aubade

    In June lightning was my landlord I paid
    My rent in dreams I was a witness when
    The rose lost its scent as my love was laid
    In the earth and in July winds often
    Hunt for her ghost passing through lighthouses
    I believe that heaven is prayer immune
    And the handless godless prayers will unhouse
    The clues she left in nature and the fortune
    To spend in nature against raging grief
    In May my love would paint the evening sky
    Enter the canvas and clouds as relief
    To let her dreams pour out as the ghost dies
    Rapture transcends despair prayer diving
    Was her term just before leaving on deaths wing

    Touching poem... Great title. My sympathies for the protagonist. Enjoyed

    who am I but a stitch in time
    what if I were to bare my soul
    would you see me origami
