Love Lost

Love Lost… Morning star shines down on me I seek the shade The shade of the great oak tree It casts a giant shadow across both of your hearts Across mine The cool breeze blows through the field Between the rows of etched marble stone And beyond the blades of overgrown grass Your resting places I see In the peace and quiet of the morning I sit, I stand, I talk to both of you I breathe; deep Exhale in a sigh Unable to fight the tears Not really wanting to try I find myself needing to spend time with both of you But have neither Mother, nor Father I am no longer a child, but a man? I am all that you both have made me Your love and guidance cannot fail me now…
