“Peaceful Eye”
By Ashley O’Hare
The golden leaves
falling from the trees
made the perfect backdrop
for you and me.
The warm, sunny color
shined like no other,
brightening the portrait
like we had no bothers.
That’s how I remember us;
natural trust,
wholesome laughter-
just waiting for the bus.
Before the epidemic hit-
I hope you remember it.
The peaceful eye
before the hurricane’s fit.
