For Wanda
For Wanda
Deep in the crannies and the nooks,
where no one goes and no one looks,
The whispers of a scattered mind,
call out to shadows left behind.
Like strobes, the memories flash and wane,
then wash away like April rain.
And thoughts that once were clear, refreshed,
sit trapped and tangled and enmeshed
in webs of darkened yesterdays,
with no tomorrows or todays.
Time flickers in the here and now,
it's all that fate chose to allow.
Behind the silences and tears,
Behind the hopelessness and fears,
Within your soul, beyond my view
Your light still glows; you are still you.
