If she does not come home, would you miss her Would you care, or dare, feel happiness Relief, she is gone, your heart sings Before long, a song of long Awaited freedom, yes She is gone, you are Free to be you No second Guessing No More Sharing Compromise Being nice, kind Greetings with a kiss Compassion and caring Random embrace just because Despair, she is gone, your heart aches You do care, or dare, feel loneliness Would you miss her, if she never came home
Figment; or My Imagination is a poem about a parent who is grieving the loss of a child. The child comes to them in a dream, but it seems so real. After the dream is over, the parent is wondering if the child really appeared?
Dear child where have you gone Dear child it's been way too long Missing you, morning, noon, night Longing for the return of your light
Light in your contagious smile Light in your warm touch Light in your healing words Light in your steady gaze
Keep your eyes shut, fear not My smile- contagious still bright My touch- warm is just right My words- healing ever so light My gaze- steady no longer tight
Dear child have I conjured fantasy Is my imagination out on a tangency Eyes now open still in a dream Mind deceives me to the extreme
Mine to have, a dream is a dream Flowing through my bloodstream For me to keep for a lifetime The aura of you is so sublime
