A Consolation by Helen C. Downey Tuesday, July 25, 2006 Rated "PG13" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan I wrote this many years ago but it still holds true today. It doesn't matter how long we had lost a loved one, it feels as if it were yesterday.
A Consolation Why do I always think about those that I’ve loved in the past? I can’t reach them They’re dead and gone Noooo, that’s wrong… I can hear them Remembering all those fun times… Understanding now how they felt Ruling by the belt Oh but how I do miss them Why couldn’t I understand them then? So vivid are my colored set memories I can almost hear their voices They left without any choices I want to touch their wrinkled parched skin God…why did you take them away? Feeling their power engulf my memory banks They make known their presence Unaware by their senses I crave for them… Smelling familiar scents around me The times so long ago Spinning emotions in my head I can’t fathom they are dead They’ve really never left… Life’s merely an on going panoramic movie ©HCD

How true. It always seems we long to say words after they are gone and never found the time when they were here. A sadness all it's own. Thank you for your great comments on my poetry. And welcome to the DEN!
