Does your Summer miss the snow?

 


Foundation.


Does your Summer miss the snow?


A poem reflecting the persistent, almost seemingly never-ending, haunting nature of loss.


Exploring how bereavement can follow you—turning every place into a somewhere filled with old memories of someone special, whose absence still lingers.


Like Irish Sea Moss


The imagery of Summer missing snow represents grief in an eternal, kaleidoscope.


Relaying the sentiment that heartbreak can be an up and down internal season all oñ its own, discounting external context.


As life continues to spin as sadness slowly creeps in.


Title.

Bereavement.


(A lone voice whispers)


Stranded forever

Everywhere I seem to go


I now know heartbreak

Like Summer misses the snow
