AND if the lost made their return
from soil to land and within
your life
would you -- could you -- accept
them back
From death to dust and an urn?
Surely first the shock and disbelief
maybe a hug if you dared -- could you?
And all the adjustments you made --
evaporate!
The new lover, what say to them --
who replaced the gaping hole
within your heart?
A new baby but not from him --
what then?
the possibilities of a Return, some sweet
but mostly a hidden poison -- you think
secretly.
But in the end (their end) sprang
a new possibility!
You live your life as best you can.
Especially when a lost is much to bear
and you pray -- leave the lost
within the ground
...sweet love sleep sweetly unto the Light!
