again my love

Written By MaryJane Nordgren

again my love

has reached out from the sky

science has taught me it is my longing

but the warmth that envelops me

gives comfort and hope

since reality is something i cannot know

i accept the possibility

that the sun streaks between clouds

across the valley floor years ago

were my husband’s assurance

that he was well

and this morning’s sunrise

swirled mauves and golden pinks

far to the north, Nordgren,

welcomed me home with him

i will not deny the joy
