I got your present--
you know
the one you sent via your sister
through my sister-in-law.
I was shocked; suprised;
disbelieving even, and the tiniest bit sad.
Merry Christmas!
Too many years too late.
Like a fruitcake passed
from person to person,
until even the love
poured into the making is
undetectable.
I wish mine was......
love undetectable that is
Like yours always was
Sometimes the white elephant is just what we need.
Yours was.
Like an expensive body wash
rinsing away years of tension and grime from my soul--
leaving a fresh outlook;
a renewed spirit;
a lavender induced peace
Lingering
as I pulled the plug
on all the unfinished business.
Thank you for the gift
even if you weren't thinking of me.
You closed the final chapter;
Wrapped up the loose ends;
Answered all the questions.
You are at last happy
and I,
I can let go.
