Mourning

I know you.

I've seen you with my friends.  I felt your presence when Pop left.  You were heavy and grey.  You were filled with the past.  You had drained the future.

You shift.  Your presence evolves and then recedes.  At times you inspire anger, at times you wrapped nostalgia gently around me.  I've seen you poke and prod.  I've felt you pull and pull and weigh heavily.

You stay as long as you do.  There's no rhyme or reason to it.  You are there until you're not.

Remove a "u" and you rise like dawn.  You fill the sky and change the quality of time.

You are there until you're not.
