RileyThe Bright Blue Day
by Rae ©2005
(For Trevor, Trystan's cat,
and Riley, my baby goat,
who both left us on May 10, 2004)
Riley
A bright blue day and you're gone
All the sad mornings come to bear
Their burdens on this bright sweet day
And you're gone.
On bright blue days
We should be walking
Shoulders bumping hands
Our woods sweet and paths
To follow
Paths were meant for us
Walking together but
You went alone and I,
Left alone, won't follow.
Not on this bright blue day.
