a bone sigh

had some bone sighs scribbled on papers
around my desk. putting them in my notebook
this morning, i found this one.

wanted to share.....

the flame flickers as the wax drips
down the side.
out the window, bare tree branches
reach out in prayer.
sipping my tea, i think of you.
wish it had been different.
acknowledge it was not.
and release you.
