A Cousin's Embrace

A cousin from Canada came and went,

leaving behind new memories 

of a few days well spent.

Stories, exclusive to us,

revived from the murk of shade

were retold and relived -
and protected from fade.

Waking to the silence of stillness,

after days of boisterous cheer,

her absence was a void in my heart,

and loud in my ear.

Getting on with domestics,

proved a distraction ideal,

to preoccupy my mind

and help an aching heart heal.

Until we meet again, her sweet gift, 
brought to colour my space,
brightens my mood
like a pink rainbow embrace.
 

Thanks for visiting!
