remember, poem, free, forget
...
Free
Someday I will forget you.
The memories will mercifully
be as gone as you are from me.
Someday your face will be
far from my recollecting mind’s
reaching in the empty nights.
Someday I will forget you.
Someday I will be free. I will
get through a day without praying
for your soul's reunion with mine.
Without praying for forgetfulness,
for your soul’s hurts to heal,
for you to find peace and rest
from the pain.
Someday I will forget you,
but Not today.
I remember and I pray.
Not for you to come back
to my longing arms,
but for you to run home to His.
Because there is a home.
There is a home,
where a Father waits
with a robe and a ring
and a family reunion.

Leaves, Trees, poem, Gone
...
Allan's post on Saturday called to mind something that I wrote this fall. And although it is fall-ish, I thought I would post it this spring in honor of his stirring post.
It is officially spring finally and the weather is growing warmer (mostly) but the leaves aren't back yet on the trees. Something is a little bit awry with such warmth on the skin but no green in the trees to feel it.
Gone
This is the only place I want to be,
but the wind is blowing
harder and colder now.
And the trees don’t whisper
once they’ve lost their leaves.
Maybe I can fall like the leaves
and drift on their winds.
Maybe I'll be carried away
until I’m simply not any more.
I can’t always cry for you,
nor can I forget.
But I do wonder,
does love linger through
a thousand winters,
or like the leaves and me,
when things turn colder
will it merely cease to be?

forget, poem, remember
i know what i look like
still i can close my eyes
and sigh and lean into
where you should be
breathing in the night
i close my eyes and
the warm gentle breeze
grazes my skin
its been years but i feel
the same inside
my heart still beats
and feels that heat
i can close my eyes
and feel your heart beating
as my head rests on your chest
i can close my eyes
i don't want to close my eyes
i don't want to feel
where you you aren't
