In Darkness...Light
I helped move your walker over the curb. You listened as I shared my emotional grief. We became friends.
One day I drove to meet you. Snow fell in sheets. The unknown lurked beneath. I swerved, stopped. Not far, the lake within walking distance.
Cabins sent curls of wood stove smoke into late autumn air. I would see yours with a candle at the window and you behind, waiting for me.
Years passed. With them storms I couldn’t control. Passing of friendships, from start to finish. Even ours. Candles lit. Extinguished.
I read your obituary. Memories touched with an afterglow.
