Fair to middlin' of nowhere

A heavy heart
holds the future
without you
even though
you are still
here
and will be
but button pushes
away from me
when you are
gone
I grieve
the coming void
        ~
bits and pieces
shards of glass
like wind chimes crash
into my heart
your memory
here and now
and then
       ~
I worry about
worry upon worries
High anxiety
until I hear
your heart
talk to me
again
It feels like
I've lost
my only friend
       ~
here you are
and still I weep
with a heavy heart
knowing what
the future holds
without you
       ~

Karilea, unfortunately family commitments and work constraints won't allow me to make it this year. FYI I don't and won't ever ride my own bike nor will I ride behind anyone else but Dennis.  


Thanks for being here

"A heavy heart

...though I'm not quite sure you wrote it like I read it, it is still one very insightful thought...loved it all

Thanks Steaven, You take this poem any way it speaks to you...doesn't matter what I was saying as much as it does what you are hearing that you relate to...it's all good.
