Poetry: Death of a loved one

Set in Stone.



I drop pebbles in time
So I can find my way back
To you.

A stone for each memory
Heavy, permanently planted
Unmovable

In silence undisturbed
Gray matter revisited
I collect

To pick up a stone
Turn it over
Caress

When next I gather
I follow to origin
Starting point

Moving ahead is harder
Than staying tethered
To departure

In the distance-uncertainty
Past is stone
Solid

Uncarveable granite
Best revisited
In thought

Twas it possible
To live it again
I choose not

For in the memory
All is forgiven
Polished Gold.

    Linger

    The machine by your bed
    bleeps to tell me
    you are alive.

    I would not
    have known any
    other way. You are not
    living.

    You linger

    There exists a smile
    That does not reach the heart
    For those who have lost someone
    And now are very far apart
