Listening

'Tears from heaven.'
'Seasons of love.'
'Kisses sweeter than wine.'
The songs play
the tears flow
the memories stream
the rain falls and
we recall and reminisce
as we listen to each other's
love and longing for the
music of her laughter
for Mom, missing
her still, though it's
been two years,
today it feels like
just a few hours ago.
Her giggles chime
like distant bells
in my head
right now
and I smile,
forgiving.
'I'll take you home again, Kathleen',
God whispers to us.
