THE WEEK

There was a glow  around us.
It lasted the week
and long after.
Days and years to relive
a healing balm that
Washed our  souls.

A family with a history
As complex and varied
As our personalities.
But the intense love we share
Covers and blankets divisions
and deep hurts held within.

Sunset bathed foam  rushes
ahead of a blue-green sea.
As some run toward the
crashing waves,

and some look upon
Tomorrow.
