Aching void
Missing You
Angry that you left
And yet I knew
You'd soon be gone.
Disease--
It came too soon
And left me empty
Left me numb
Bereft of something
Nameless...
Left me dumb
I rose up from
the ashes,
Smiling--not for me
But for the children
For their need
Sorrows deep --all comfort
spurned
Stirred...sifted...burned
Until the lights went out
And left me staring
in the dark
Wordless...hungry...stark
This icebound world
A lonely mark...
Alone I rise...alone I fall
And wonder that you've left
before the winter's thaw.
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :)
Hugs to you,
Cryssa
finely wrought work.
