Quietly


shhh...it's okay
I silence myself

and here
I will miss you quietly
as dusk turns to night-
as fall becomes winter
when clouds alight
and freeze,

as youth leaves
to make way for time,
through generations
handed down in rhyme.

I keep my sadness to myself,
you'll never see me cry.
I still wait for you
in each minute passing by

and here
I will miss you quietly.

"In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion taking me over"

So the song goes~

Dixie,

You  are/(were?) an absolute genius of poetry.
I really don’t know what to say about
how never the less your life turned out.

I would like to include this, with your permission,
in my Word file of poems by others.  Maybe,
after we’re both gone, students will recite you
in the corridors on campus.

John

You know Dixie I have read you for quite a few years now and you have always been a gifted writer but what strikes me now more than anything is how much you have grown into your talent.
Excellent write!

"and here
I will miss you quietly
as dusk turns to night-
as fall becomes winter
when clouds alight
and freeze,"

you're pulling at my heart strings Dixie
you're feeling my mood tonight

and that is one big beautiful smile you have there
