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
