The Web Poetry Corner - Linda Paulson Adams - Packing

Packing

by

Linda Paulson Adams

Quietly putting the cradle away
We hold one another in tears
Of sorrow.

The empty cardboard box
Mocking us by its very presence
We fill it.

Slowly we place each item
Into its empty cavern with
Reverence

For the life that will never use them
Never smile for us or ask us for his
First puppy.

Quietly packing our hopes away
For this one is not the same
As another

We hold each other with empty arms
Our unspoken thoughts only fears
Of tomorrow.
