It didn't seem right not to start a new page for new stuff. As I age and mature, what I write changes. The old has its place--and so must the new.
Read on.
Perdido
Yet again I feel the pain and loss
The flow of tissue tells me all too easily
Now was not the time
Here was not the place
And you are part of the sea now
Like that odd period so long ago
Clotted pieces of you
Remind me of my defects
And the hole in my heart where you were
I find myself clinging to things
What might have been your first toy
I cuddle it now--it's all I can hold
I've loved and lost again
Still he stands by me
The man I love would've made you proud
But you're with the heavenly Father now
And washed away before I could dare to dream...
But now that I know, you're gone...
But the water may bring you back to me again...
All I have are my prayers
And the dreams that you sleep
Not within me
But within the arms of an angel...
