For My Grandmother,

 

Did I miss you?  No not at all. 

Well-

Only when the sun was bright or the moon was in the sky.

Only when it rained or when the day was dry.  

Only when the warm winds blew or on those icy frigid days.   

Only when the skies were blue or filled with fall’s haze.

Only when the sound of birdsong filled the morning air. 

Only when each perch stood silent and bare.

Only every minute, every hour, every day.

Only since the instant that your voyage took you away.
