Mimi's Poem
Mother, tell me there's a reason
For our swollen eyes
Chat blur these thoughts
Rolling in with the fog.
i stand, a solitary shadow
That matches my mind.
Reaching out in desperation
For the wisdom thrown away.
These hands that know not
How to write
Wait cupped for the tears that
Should flow, but I’ve forgotten.
And grown tired of
Trying to remember.
So I crouch and burn for
The return of your toucL
God, help us fill
This dying space
That calls for its love of Life.
Now we can only breathe
Sorrow, and
Suffocate those cries of hope that
Fade in this tender space.
I-ovc, teach us again
To embrace each other,
Hold on to life before it falls
So far wc regret missing it.
Don't let us spiral down from
This world, so twisted in itself;
Where lilacs can still bloom
And it takes an angel's failing to know .
Mother, tell me of hope and hold me
God, help us realize wc are life and to
Love, teach us the feeling of one's hand.
We drift - link arms to stop the present from drowning.
