Happiness is like a feather,
here one moment,
gone the next.
Life is also like a feather,
good one moment,
stripped the next.
That fateful morning there I sat,
Wiping my nose and clearing my throat.
The ringing of the phone, little did I know,
would bring news that would tear my world apart.
Derisive remarks, no sympathy seen,
her harsh voice did I hear.
Racking sobs, quickly typed mails,
Life draining away before me.
Time passes in a slow agonizing haze,
sickness, fever and pain,
When the sky was grey,
a party was held,
many laughter and tears shown that day.
Two months pass,
not much time,
but what is time to the dying?
Loud noise, china clinking,
dinner wiht my father, a rare occasion to be had.
Dragged from my precious dreams,
lost in a haze of fatigue and pain.
My phone ringing, the melody oddly too cheerful for words.
My father loud and angry voice, tone softened,
he tells me to tell her I love her.
I hold back the sobs,
the sobs dried long ago.
My family came to find me,
it was all in a haze.
Derisive remarks about God and Jesus,
I listen not.
My thick book open on my lap,
beads clacking between my fingers.
Months now fly by,
I am a lady,
standing on the bow of a ship,
staring out over ruffled blue sea.
Deep blue of the eternal womb,
mother from which all were and are born.
My shawl is rough and long,
wrapping me in layers of silent comfort,
comfort only known to those who wrap themselves daily and for all eternity in a sadness that they cannot escape from.
The rose at my throat, a mix of colours,
Potential to harm, but staying silent.
The ashes are like powder,
chalky and silent,
No longer do they pulse with the breath of life.
I take a handful and fling them,
ashes scattered by wind and water.
Most are smiling, but I am sad,
the day now grey, lifeless and empty.
Life goes on, they all say,
but what more can I do.
I no longer have anything,
Where does time go?
Where do we go after death?
Never will I know.
Never will I know
The wheel of time turns,
but for me it stays the same.
That memory,
that time,
never will let me rest.

I'm kind of scared to post anything more because I don't want to seem like I'm monopolizing or dominating the boards
Beautiful and Stunning feel free to monopolise..smile
That was good.
Don't be afraid to monopolize the boards. We all do.
