Bright Melancholy Holiday

A memorial day prose poem

Food & fest combines with heart's heavy void, 
setting the great paradox.

Mutterings mix w/industrious preparations 
beneath the limitless limited blue.

Hazy, cob-webbed azure reveals the mood of 
the moment.

A crowd of emerald giants gather in memoriam, 
creaking, groaning, whispering heroic tales of 
generations past, in Zephyr's midst; 

competing to glow with the sun. 

As every humid molecule pelts flesh, parents 
and children find their collective rhythm, in
true purpose of this day. 

Food, fun, and remembrance...
