Giveth Yet Taketh Away

Giveth yet Taketh Away. She created being for me young meant lucky in that overnight she admittedly disappeared without a fight and no rapacious thoughts Hidden away in the hills eloping with the free mammoth conversions taken aboard as she climbed, surfacing and conforming unyielding for an eternity of reasons Crying out, craving representation of a part of the source knowing somewhat pieces missing, blueprints unfinished so distractions from such emptiness and anguish few i had, more i yearned with glowing affections Haunting visions, nightly how i perceived you as i didn't know would it have really killed you to send one photo Oh how do you just forget the existence of us of me and what was supposed to be our puzzle and our pilgrimage Awakening spirit finally within you, willing love, becoming vital once more Open hearts had and did come from many angles succeeding in forgiving partly failing in forgetting The flower blossomed she became my best friend we now travelled a path together finally Morbidly over time her body failed her and pulled slowly and frustrating this child of christ into a warm safe place pain, aching and desperation lifted from her shoulders to be freed to suffer no more now she was yet I had lost my smile my piece to the puzzle again emptyness stayed by my side as the nile was flooded with my tears until mine was the drought Kneeling, begging the sun to rise needing life after becoming practically defunct in my grief and melancholy That day did appear dont question how but taller i stood moving on apparent She blossmed still my giving flower just not in physical ways a precious place in my heart held only and always for her My Creator My Mother
