'enchanted Moments'

The leaden pulse of her heart seems to suppress mine In the quiet times when we had no words to share Just the beating of our hearts Those magical moments no one but us shared It is like she knew it was time She wanted to be sure We would be okay before she left Because in all the days that lead up to “that day” The words: “I am tired” was her refrain. My heart at times are torn But I can deal with that It’s better than seeing her In a space of constant pain Where nothing I could do; Would ease or take it away So yes I am sad at times My poetry reflects that But I am more blessed Because of those magical moments we could share
Dedicated to my mom, Magda Neels... miss you
