Remembrance…

Source: We Heart It

The Season of Christmas
is upon us once again

Personally I have so
much to be thankful for
as I look back over
the past year

Good friends…
Abundance in my life…
Intertwined with
daily struggles

Remembering those no
longer with us
Brings both joy
and sadness
Missing their presence
Yet…
Remembering them
with Love...

Taste Of Goodbye

Source: We Heart It

Again…

My illusion of 

safety and security

has been shattered

 

My world turned

upside down

My heart…

My soul…

In flames

 

From kindness

and caring

To…

Unbelievable

cruelty in

a heartbeat

 

Sitting at the

table of bitterness

There is that oh

so familiar taste

of goodbye 

placed upon

my Tongue

The Lair

Source: We Heart It

We are stalked in life

from the time we take

our first gasping scream

at birth

Until…

that final death rattle

 

Death is always there

stalking us…

waiting…

to take us to its

lair for the final trip

 

For some…

It is sudden and

unexpected…

Others…

a lingering…

counting the final

hours to the end

 

But…

 

The saddest…

most tragic…

are newborns

given only a brief

moment in time

until death comes

creeping from its

lair to steal their

breath before they 

are allowed to  give

their mark in time

The past two days have been a series of tragic events in the lives of people I care for deeply.  

Their sadness, pain and hurt are in my heart and on my mind…such is the life of a poet.

Walls the Color of Tears

Image: We Heart It

In my life

sadness has always

found me

 

I smile to cover up…

Laugh to go

unnoticed…

 

No one knows

exactly how

I feel

 

But…

 

When I am home…

alone…

In the safety and

quiet of my shower

 

Everything comes out…

I let go…

And…

I see all around me

Everywhere…

The walls are the

color of

My Tears
