“Departures Drive”
March is leaving
Our sky, dividing
Hardly is it alright
for days of silence
that deafens all ears
Sent love to airport
No time for talking
No mind for thinking
Moody was the weather report
Sealed the accidental trip
with a forget-me-not kiss
As I headed back home
in mourning she took off
for a reason of no return
Guess little is there to learn
how a departure drives
sorry nights into sleepless sighs

SHARING STORIES is a weekly column for and about the 50 plus crowd living in the Puget Sound region. Send your stories and photos to ariele@comcast.net. Tell local or personal stories; discuss concerns around aging and other issues; share solutions, good luck, and reasons to celebrate; poems are fine too. Pieces may be edited or excerpted. We reserve the right to select among pieces. Photos are always a plus and a one-sentence bio is requested (where you live, maybe age or career, retired status, etc.).
