Nick Ruff Poet Free verse

In A Moment

Today, I watched
From the bus garage 
As you came outside
And casually brushed the snow
From the car,
Preparing to drive the kids
Away from me

And in that moment
I broke down and cried,
Remembering how long it's been
Since we were together 
As a family 

In that moment,
I wanted to embrace you,
And I wanted to help you
Like I always have
Over the years

In that moment,
I wanted to hear
The familiar chaos of little voices
Loudly protesting 
As they are unceremoniously pulled
Away from the warm glow
Of electronics,
And forced to march
Into the cold November snow

In that moment,
I wanted to tell you that
Everything will be okay,
And that the truth will soon shine
Through the fog of his lies,
Like a beacon in the night 

I wanted to tell you 
That our love for our children
Will burn through the blackness
Of fear and hatred,
Forever destroying the evil
That tries to keep us apart.
