Departure
A few short lines tell
Of sudden departure;
No longer you dwell
To nurture nature.
So sad to now know
This abrupt leaving;
A deep hurt stings show
To break happenings.
I knew before this
Harsh broken passage;
Sought to retain bliss
In denial's message.
Foolish ways grip me
For time here is brief;
Yes a fool can see
But sharp pain chokes grief.
You were a true friend
In my crazy days;
Who now can help trend
The defaults that stray?
Grief makes sadness long
For old history;
Brief touch can make strong
This harsh misery.
I sit here in daze
To discover loss;
I make face at daze
To show I am cross.
Dust and dross we are
In a sense most true;
So curl my old stars
And see this pain through.
No words can make out
The journeys to here;
No voice can shape shout
In incomplet_ arrears.
