Spring Sadness

BY Joanne Fischer

Spring is here-
But you are not
Love is in the air -
But you cannot embrace

Dawn brings sunshine -
But you forever sleep
Birds sing -
But you cannot hear

Trees bloom -
But you cannot see
Flowers grow -
But you cannot smell

Grass turns green -
But you cannot touch
Rain falls -
But you cannot get wet

The sun is warm -
But you cannot feel it
Windows open -
But you cannot breath

Beaches are crowded -
But you cannot gather shells
Sunsets are beautiful -
But you cannot share them

Laughter is everywhere -
But it is not yours
Tears flow for you -
But they do not reach you

We want you back-
But you cannot return
Life continues-
BUT YOURS IS DONE

We ask why -
BUT NO ONE ANSWERS!
