Only Songs Remain
(A Facebook Tragedy)

Jim Carson

We find love and lose it
but the songs remain.
Joy lingers
in the space between the notes,
ours to remember when mood strikes.
Each worn and familiar tone
recalls passion’s burning once
fierce but now dormant.
Chance can change the state
reunite the lovers
and reignite the memory.
If only for a moment
we can dance again in the rain
and puddlejump as children.
But death can come in an instant
to turn the rain cold
and chill us to the bone.
And the puddles then become reflections
mirroring the sorrow
of our anguished faces
drowning in the tears
that are their source.
