It's Still Life

The Wind that Carries Him

She gave him roots.
She gave him wings.
Gave her bones quiet
to remember
how much growing costs.

Forget-me-nots, bright as sky —
be in my heart.
Bluebells for your kindness,
lavender for your calm,
hydrangea to return
what love never asks back.

She gave her tears permission—
not to break,
but to bless
the wind that carries him.
