cool
breezes
soft ruffle
of Goose feathers
an idle instinct
reawakened
bids adieu
to water's
chill

I get goosebumps
When I get cold
I can feel them
Rising on my arms
As the cold air circulates
They go away as
I warm up
I get goosebumps
When I’m about to walk
Into a dangerous situation
Like walking down a street
Or going into a building
They pop up on my arms
Letting me know that
Something’s not right
The closer i walk to it
The larger my goosebumps get
It gives me a cold eerie feeling
that enters my body
Giving me the creeps
Whenever I see a mother cry
My skin covers itself in goose-bumps
My eyes well up my throat feels choked
I really can't bare such raw intense grief
I wish I could help them
Save them
Take away the aching pain
Wipe away broken tears
A grieving mother never heals I know this as true
Her days will be forever cradleing what memories remain
She will never hold her head the same
Her heart filled with despair
An emptiness one will never truly know
Unless you have had to let go..
GOOSE BUMPS

I'd thought I found eternal rest
cold hands folded, still, on my chest
but I hear echoes from the past
the trumpet's sound, fierce bugle blast
Coming alert, I look around
burst out laughing, see the sound
source - back to sleep with merry wave
at geese, goose-stepping on my grave ....

Unexpectedly
his miniature hand
bathed my arm
Attached to it
the query
“Pops”
“Yes son
I love you too”
And his giggles raced on
