the white ellipse

It's September.

wtf? 

Where did time go?

Six months, man. I didn't write a huge post on Aidan's 6 month *day.  I couldn't find the words. There are too many.  That was a sad day, though, as is every day. But I wrote a poem in honor of it.  I haven't written a poem since high school so don't judge me.



The white ellipse
Full of promise
Full of hope

Time passes
The secondhand ticks away

Suddenly
A single pink line
Solemn, resolute
Slowly darkening to a deep fuchsia

Beautiful
It commands attention
But is missing its partner

Time passes again
Agonizing minutes

There is nothing
Just white
Glaringly bright

Hope is lost
Dreams are shattered

Maybe next month
