Tender Ribbon

Tragedy.

Cutting the very ribbon

Delicately tethering a family together

Like a gift

Nothing worth wrapping

Worth saving

Cut, fold, loop, repeat.
Goodbye. 

A gift never meant for delivery. 

Reviews

[Kesch (Finding Julia)]

So very well written and beautiful, enjoyed this

[HadesRising]

Very well written piece of poetry. Well Done.

[AYVID N]

So beautifully written and tugs this reader’s sentimental heart...

[John the Baptist]

The spare nature of this one leaves much to the imagination. That does not mean feeling is not communicated, however. It sounds as though a death,possibly a sudden one, altered a close knit family forever. ''Cut, fold, loop, repeat./ Goodbye.'' Much pain, much grief, is contained in those terse lines. A very moving work.
