Remorseful, Silent

Vivid recollection of a past tomorrow
when anger surpassed tight control,
birthing fear in few moments and sorrow
bled into corners of unsuspecting soul.

Vivid reds, blues and blacks reflect
in memory's transparent window
of swollen, shocked eyes glaze deflected,
spilling on marked cheek, tear-streaked flow.

Vivid the remorseful daze burning his face,
staring at shaking hand like it wasn't his own.
Pleading regrets and begging my place,
my pain far away from the anger he'd shown,

to those brighter tomorrows where time might erase
that dark day, in hopes he has grown.

Vibrates in the memory..."

Chanson,
This is a poignant poem that will vibrate in my memory for some time to come.
Be well
Kethry.


"It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures;
but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-
