Dennebos

Daars n ster wat op ons glinster
Gly n druppel aan die venter
Kyk die sproeiers op die lande 
En voels is blomme van die hemel

Deur my dagboeke van goster blaai tor twintigste Desember
Lees dan tussen deur die lyne
Le nog stukkies van die tyding

Onthou jy nog die rede waarom jy moes weggaan
Waarom moes jy weggaan dan skuif n work daar voor die maan

Daars n Dennebos in Ceres waar ek wegkruip as dit seer is
As jy wandel deur die pyne
Wat was joune wat was myne

Ek was maar net n laaitie toe jy altyd weer moes weggaan
Teen die wolwe moes ek man staan
Ek probeer maar net verstaan

Daars n skoenlapper wat fluister
Ek verbeel my hy het kom luister
Die kokon wat jou so hinder
Jy verander in n vlinder

You live. I thank God. Much emotion is blowing through and out me. I've stared only that for a good while. You are my best tended regret. I'm not being passive aggressive but sincerely feel you might not wish to speak with me. I understand the I stole from us both but not all the whys that impacted withdrawal, and I don't understand a word in your poem. You live, how I prayed.
