I like to learn new words but would find it frustrating if I had to keep stopping to look up the meaning of words.

I hope you enjoyed it and didn’t find it upsetting. Any loss is difficult.

I reach for your hand
search for your warmth; remember
you’re gone, I’m alone

Two close, tall, evergreen trees reach to the blue sky, some branches touching.

faint scent of pine—
memory of when we were
the whole forest
