Anniversary Realized It took a few seconds after I opened my eyes to remember what the date was I steeled myself literally held my breath waiting for impact then smiled recalling the sentry I’d left posted before I slept his job well done, I paid him his due and went about starting the day no dizziness, no palpitations no wave of dread I stepped comfortably into a shower made coffee, watched the midday news left for work just another day until I realized I hadn’t spoken to anyone who hadn’t spoken first and though the radio was playing I couldn’t recall a verse then quietly resolved, if only to myself not to speak of the date or significance to anyone else it seemed somehow justice that I alone should know the golden worth of silence when a thousand words won’t show what it is my heart remembers this night as I don’t sleep I would be lying if I said I didn’t hope you were reliving the same thing |

Mysteria---I believe they say, 'Don't'. I turn to a pillar of salt as we speak. Thanks for reading and responding. Cpat Hair---Thank you. It was not pleasant to write...but neccesary, for me. Laura---Where ya been, kiddo? Gotta learn to run faster! Thanks for your support, Laura. Sven---I still remember your reply to the post I made anticipating this day and at first I thought I was going to be able to pull it off. Seems the feelings...caught up with me. Thank you. Helen---Thank you for your response of friendship. Foolish though, no...she has her reasons. I just needed to write how I was feeling. |
