he could not

go with her

not this time

she had to do this

a l o n e

so he stayed behind

and took care of things

all the things required of the living

and the world still turned

even if there were parts still flooded

and the seasons changed

giving way to the wind

the return of spring

fresh flowers in a ring

for life is for the living

dance and sing

no, love’s not free

wouldn’t want it to be

its ransom paid in full

at departure

and only the brave

would board

its train

a passenger

of the rain
