The Question

i need to know somthing besides
i miss you
i need to be something besides
empty
i need to hear something besides
your words
i need to feel something besides
your touch
i need to be somewhere besides
lost
i need to be alive again without you
but how?

--------------------

Spinning

tree limbs twist in timeless motion
of nature's ballet
spinning around
wrapped up with the wind
and i am spinning in lost circles
of learning not to go on
lost in something
i can't control
repeating dreams unrealized
repeating hopes unfulfilled
turning over and over again
sommersalting in patterns
of how to make this stop
time to catch my breath
unwrap myself from this blanket of loss
turn off the wind
and dream another dream
that can happen
------------------------------

My answer

lost every thing
bankrupt
nothing left but tatters
gather them up
weave them together
into something beautiful
carefully sewing patterns
of colored rainbows
out of threads of gone
that's how to survive
beyond the loss of all
but me


Comment:  these poems all grew out of each other on a day i was lost in the recall of that something lost that would never be regained.  

Oh, yes!i'm much better for it!  glad to have lived those days, and now so glad they are only memories.
