still

[The Wanderer]

a still night
seems so convincing

it's like a broken artery
that you never even felt

that now says,
you don't exist

I pretend
to imagine

that someone else
can ever be still again


~for Brittanie Cecil (1989-2002)

all we can do is wonder at the senselessness of it, and pray for her family

thanks for posting this Wanderer

Beautiful poem...

------------------
Your sun so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Carved into stone on the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Indeed.

It hurts more because her death was preventable.

But, whether we like to acknowledge it or not, were all mortal and all of us have our time to go.

It doesnt, however, make it feel anybetter.

 

[The Wanderer]

it's all just useless words, but at least I'll always remember her, or the notion of her...

thanks

I don't know who this is but she sure was young. Hopefully the process of arranging those silly words helped a minuscule... I'm sorry for your loss, Wanderer.
