Widowed Village

A community of peers created by the Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation

Watercolors of memories wash my mind

Mixed with the dark, somber colors of pain and loss

Creating a palate of pleasure and pain

All intertwined in wispy tendrils 

That I reach out to grab in my hands

Only to find my hands empty

And so tears run through my heart

Leaving my soul aching

For that which once was but is no more

For it is just a watercolor of memories.
