I Had Hoped...
I hoovered all the floors
today, just in case you came
I didn't really think you would,
but did it all the same.
The polish and the duster
made every surface bright,
I didn't really think you'd come,
but hoped that you just might.
I set the kettle on the stove to
whistle out its song
and checked the biscuits in the tin,
in case you came along.
But now the day is almost done
dark shadows carve the wall,
and though I rather hoped you would
you didn't come to call.

There's a beauty to the sorrow here, a beauty that I think makes sorrow sometimes worthwhile, and of course we know that beauty is breathed love. And in all these seemingly small acts, you breathed love, and may it's beauty - which is yours - be your solace.
