"That's All You Have to Say"

I wait and wonder if the day
of need will ever come
when the challenges seem easier
and the heart is far from numb,
when whispers are uncovered
and the talk is not of rain,
when love will softly tap its feel
to reflect upon again.

I wonder if these backward days
will right themselves to share
the steadiness of "once upons"
to grace this time in care.
Will gentle winds remain to breeze
the heaviness of now,
replacing all these static days,
less longing for, somehow.

I wonder if somewhere inside
those words need seed to sow.
A garden rich to navigate
if only they could grow
into the thoughts, tomorrow's ends
that imprint heart with song.
That's all one has to say for now
...for night has come along.

M

Those days will come, Maureen, and no one will be more deserving of them than you....a beautifully crafted piece.

Maureen this is a beautifully written poem. Although a little sad. I wish you all the best.
